Survivors of Sixties Scoop gather to share stories in Regina
Rod Belanger was three years old when he was taken away from his family.
He said the Sixties Scoop robbed him of the chance to know his grandparents, parents and siblings.
“I never spent a Christmas with my parents, ever. I never had that bonding with my mother. She wasn’t able to hold me. My father was the same,” Belanger said.
Belanger was later able to meet his parents, as well as siblings he never knew even existed, but said they were never able to form a meaningful relationship.
