February Dinner Meeting
Walter Romaniuk outlined the 3 year process he and has wife went through in adopting two boys from Ukraine. Wendy Robinson from the Christian Adoption Agency, who worked with the Romaniuks to make this happen, spoke of the trials of adoption within Canada versus the international stage. The subject was interesting and thought provoking. It was especially nice to see the two boys prior to dinner.
