We Catholics rightly appreciate the generosity of heart and sense of calling that leads many homeschoolers to raise large, beautiful families. And thank God for them! But scattered among us are families with only one or two children, and some of them have experienced feelings of shame for the small size of their families, as if they don’t measure up in the eyes of others. So today, we’re talking with homeschooling mom Kaitlin Zara to bring to light A Hidden Heartache: What Small Catholic Families Want You to Know.
Kaitlin would love to hear from you!
