zwergel88 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2004 Hello, I once read a book in which a priest adopted 3 children from the Phillipines. I can't think of the name, but I will post it when I think of it. Anna Z. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hopeful1 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2004 used to be a preist at my parish who adopted. I'm not sure what the circumstances were, but now the child's all grown up and has a family of his own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morostheos 170 Report post Posted May 26, 2004 I've read books before where monasteries and nuneries have adopted a few children (usually monasteries had boys and nuneries girls). I don't know of any current occurences of this, but I'm sure it happens occasionally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLAZEr 2 Report post Posted May 30, 2004 THis reminds me of my favorite Catholic movie: Marcelino, Pan y Vino. It's about some Capuchin francsican friars who take in an abandoned baby and raise him . . . he eventually dies . . . but not before an incredible miracle . . .
