Join me as I speak with John and Andrea Mclean, a couple from  Ojibwe First Nation and Metis families, who love their Catholic faith, and who have created a flourishing, multicultural family through the gift of adoption and foster care. We speak about their experience of celebrating both their Catholic faith and Indigenous culture, the grief of the residential schools, the catharsis of self-discipline, how to build bridges in the midst of cultural tensions, and the beauty of building a family through the gift of adoption and foster care (amongst other things!).
