The Adoption '06 Journey Conference - and Candle Lighting Ceremony

Late Saturday afternoon at the legislature, adoptees, birth families and adopted families gathered for a candle lighting ceremony as part of the Adoption Journey Conference held in Winnipeg.

I met people from various parts of Manitoba - Miami, near MacGregor, St. Pierre and Winnipeg at the ceremony at the Legislature. I heard that the Conference was very useful in helping people to come together to talk about the adoption process, raising adopted children and to get the perspective of children who were adopted.
