Adoption Voices

Greetings from St. Louis, Missouri!  My name is Margie Wasielewski and I have worked for Dillon International as Director of Missouri adoptions since 1997. I earned my Masters Degree in Social Work at St. Louis University and have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 1990.  It is such an honor and privilege to help others build their families through adoption and is an incredible source of joy in my life.  I am married to a wonderful guy named Ralph and we have two children, Danny and Megan.

I strongly believe in Dillon International’s mission of making a lifetime commitment to each child and family, and thus I plan numerous events throughout the year to give adoptive families the opportunity for fellowship and to foster lifelong friendships with other adoptees. Annual events include: Holiday Dinner; Korean Children’s Day; Summer Barbecue; Halloween Trunk or Treat; and Trivia Night. I also have monthly tween adoptee gatherings and quarterly mom’s coffee chats.  Check in with us on this page for upcoming Dillon/Missouri important dates and events. Feel free to call or email me anytime with questions, concerns, or suggestions..
