Margie Wasielewski, MSW, LCSW
Director of Missouri Adoptions
|
|
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..
