A retired Senator from Saint John is travelling to Hartford this weekend to get an award for her efforts in promoting local adoption.
Erminie Cohen tells CHSJ News the award is from the North American Council on Adoptable Children.
Cohen says the award is for the volunteers and donors and she says they are all very proud.
Cohen was asked by former Premier Bernard Lord to head the New Brunswick Adoption Council that has helped over 800 children in the province find forever famillies.
