Food For Thought - Father Michael Arey

Fr. Michael Arey, Associate Pastor at St. Philip's in Bemidji, recounts his personal adoption story to Tom Lano.  His unwed mother rejected marriage, choosing to return to the Minneapolis-St. Paul area to give birth before continuing her Hollywood career.  At five weeks old, Fr. Mike was adopted. When he was eighteen, he read a letter from his birth mother. Near the end of his college years, he met her, which led to discovering the source of his artistic traits and other relatives, including a younger brother.  "Every day is a gift," Fr. Mike declares and he is always eager to hear other adoption stories.
