“At times, it feels like a cliché, a little Indigenous girl left one in a church basement, surrounded by white boys, and men meant to, if not protect her, then at the very least not hurt her. But clichés are clichés for a reason, I suppose.”
Brittany Penner, Children Like Us: A Métis Woman's Memoir of Family, Identity and Walking Herself Home

“My parents believe that race is irrelevant—that a family's love for a child is the only thing that matters when adopting.”
Brittany Penner, Children Like Us: A Métis Woman's Memoir of Family, Identity and Walking Herself Home

“I feel alone here. In some ways, I feel abandoned here. This feels fitting, somehow, and, in recognizing the truth in that, I find that I can breathe easier here.”
Brittany Penner, Children Like Us: A Métis Woman's Memoir of Family, Identity and Walking Herself Home
