Pat Garry met Pauline, the love of his life, in 1970. They had a daughter out of wedlock, so they gave her up for adoption. And then tragedy struck. Fred and Orla Rainert started on the road of intercountry adoption shortly after they got married in 2005. They take a difficult trip to Russia to be approved as adoptive parents, in the hope they may meet their child there.
