I've been watching #LongLostFamilyUK with my mom. We started on season 1 & are on season 2. It's very heartwarming. When you hear of people carrying baggage you know nothing about, this series reveals examples of what that can be, for some people.
Watching this, you really have to acknowledge how #women's independence & agency is still relatively new when you learn about how many women were shamed & forced into giving up their children from unplanned pregnancies. Next to no accountability held to the men who impregnated them.
When you watch these, you can't be surprised that women today don't want to repeat history.

Catalonian town bans black #cat #adoptions during #Halloween

Terassa's city council said there's no record of cruelty towards black #cats… tho there have been incidents in other areas & there've been warnings from animal welfare groups.

"We try to prevent people from adopting because it's trendy or impulsively. And in cases like these, which we know exist, to prevent any macabre practices…"

Terrassa's adoption centre houses around 100 felines, 12 of which are black…

The #Catholic Church is responsible for some of the most reprehensible actions. Here's another 😡

“During the 1950s, the #CatholicChurch in Belgium separated thousands of newborns from their unwed mothers and put them up for adoption, often without the mothers' consent. The women were shamed into surrendering their babies by their families and a powerful church. Last month, #PopeFrancis apologized for those forced #Adoptions. But Belgians weren't the only victims. From 1950 to 1970, the #Vatican sent 3,500 Italian children to America on something called an orphan visa.”
