Margie Wasielewski, MSW, LCSW
Director of Missouri Adoptions

Greetings
from St. Louis, Missouri! My name is Margie
Wasielewski and I serve Dillon International as Director
of our Missouri office since 1997. I earned my
Masters Degree in Social Work at St. Louis University
and have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for 15
years. I have had the privilege of helping others
build their families through adoption since 1989.
It has been an incredible source of joy in my life.
I am married to a wonderful guy named Ralph and we have
two teenagers, Danny, age 19, and Megan who is age 15.
I strongly believe in
Dillon International’s mission of making a lifetime
commitment to each child and family and would love your
input on how we can better serve you with our post
adoption services in Missouri. Please feel free to
contact me with any suggestions on fellowship
opportunities or events. Check in with us on this
page for upcoming Dillon/Missouri important dates and
events. I look forward to visiting with you.
