A framework for understanding your child's inheritance as including both biological lineage and spiritual/chosen lineage, honoring all that came before and all that they will create.
Rabia understood that spiritual legacy was transmitted through relationship and practice, not only through blood. Adoptive children often experience fragmentation around lineage: they may have limited access to biological family history, genetic inheritance, or cultural origins. Yet they are not without lineage. They inherit from their birth family (what they can know or discover), they inherit from their adoptive family (values, practices, stories), and they inherit from their own soul (gifts and purpose unique to them). This concept helps adoptive parents teach children that their legacy is multifaceted and sacred. It validates curiosity about birth family without requiring that knowledge to complete the child's identity. It honors what the adoptive family is transmitting without claiming to be the only source of a child's inheritance. Rabia taught that each person carries divine purpose; similarly, your child carries their own unique legacy forward. Your role as an adoptive parent is to help them recognize, honor, and integrate the multiple lineages that flow through them, and to support them in creating their own legacy for future generations.
Peri can explain this concept, give practical examples, help you decide whether it applies to your situation, or recommend a journey if appropriate.
