Do Handmaids visit their family?
Certainly! Handmaids value family ties and we appreciate renewing the bonds we have with our blood family. Of course, many Handmaids around the world are not living in their home country and cannot visit their family every year. We count the blessings of this internet age to keep us closely in touch. Our local community and province is our “immediate family”, but just like your married friends, that doesn’t stop us from going back to mom, dad, and the cousins.
