Support group
sets induction

Heaven Sent, a support organization for adoptive parents, will hold its induction of officers at 2:30 p.m. today at the atrium of the Hall of Justice in Bacolod City.

The group has about 25 member families who meet every third Saturday of the month at the Hall of Justice to discuss ways and means to propagate the concept of adoption of children who need to be placed in a family home atmosphere.

They also invite resource persons who talk on how to rear adopted children and, sometimes, hold children's parties so that children and their parents could bond with each other. The group has been in existence for two years now. The officers to be inducted by Judge Ray Alan Drilon, Executive Judge of RTC Bacolod City, are: president - Judge Philadelfa Agraviador; vice president - Bruno Van Den Huevel; secretary - Vivien Amodia; assistant secretary - Therence Galila; treasurer - Belinda Rojo; assistant treasurer - Dely Sumadia; and auditor - Jude Doctora.

Directors are Tess Bongco, Arnel Sigue, Elnora Garcia, Victoria Lanado, and Dolores Navio.

The group's adviser is Nela Ybañez, directress of the Holy Infant Nursery. Those who are interested to join the group may contact her at Tel. No. 444-1905.*
