In this video, Janelle shares a touching memory from 2007 when she served as a missionary with the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata, India. Hear her incredible story about translating for a young Frenchman, Augustine, who returned to the orphanage where he was raised to learn about his origins. This profound encounter reveals the beauty of human connection, the importance of identity, and how faith provides answers to life’s deepest questions.

Ken and Janelle also reflect on the universal longing to know “Where did I come from?” and how Catholic teaching fulfills this innate desire through the revelation of God as our Father. They explore how adoption mirrors God’s grace and highlight the difference between placing the needs of children first versus prioritizing adult desires.
