out of Tgronto on January 27,.
heading half -way around the world
for a two-week stay in Bangladesh.
They will be joined along the way
across Canada by families from To-

The highlight of their trip will

in Ontario. Dale and Doreen Good
had read a magazine article about
Families For Children, and applied
for a baby.

child who wouldn't otherwise have
one", Doreen said. She recalls
that the Ontario Children's Aid
worker who did the home study
thought the Gn I rare ."a lit
tion agencies tried to match up
adoptive parents and children ac-
cording to common background",
Doreen explained.
Six months later, .the Goods
headed forToronto to await the ar-
rival of their three -week-old son.
The plane was delayed three hours,
giving the 3oods the chance to
meet the six other families also
adopting Bangladesh babies. (Now
four of the original seven will be
on the trip back. Among them
will be Komoka residents Ami
Wolsley, 16, and her mother Don-
