I to am a 60 scoop survivor. I was apprehended at a very early age & finally adopted out in 1975…I believe God has a deep purpose for me…& since I’m a “lifer” of Child Welfare I recieved my Aboriginal Child Family Services diploma I’m at Yellowhead Tribal council…I went on co-founded Creating Hope Society & worked as a Family Support Liaison to advocate for the families who have no voice…it was a deep passion & watching children return home to thier loving homes after working with the families…I feel like I have done a job that God wanted me to…I looked & brought myself into the eyes of those children…all they want is to go home where they are unconditionally loved…home which I didn’t find till I was 17.
