It -'‘presses a wish or a command. A command—look beyond it to the Please in the eyes of a child. I think my Mother has the ways and habits that any Mother should have, and I love her more than anything in the world, and will always b e true to her.'’ There’s a llftime of love In this tribute, yet the 8-year-old author had known his mother less than a year. He is an adopted son,, who found his family through the Children’s Home Society of North Carolina. Take this one instance of a ‘ child given fresh hope, multiply by 8,000, and you have the sum of the Society’s 62 years of work in child caring and adoption plan ning. During last year alone, it helped 237 babies and older child ren find adoptive homes, and aid ed 62 others for whom adoption was completed or other services given. Th@ Children’s Home Society is one of the statewide agencies re ceiving support from United Fund campaigns in the number of North Carolina communities thr ough Carollnas United. It main tains district offices or resident caseworkers In Greensboro, Ashe ville, Charlotte, Chapel HIU, Green ville, and Wilmington. “Children need to feel they be long to someone,” said Miss Har riet L. Tynes, executive director. “Love can quickly lead them to accept a plate in their new fam ily, with great happiness for both parents and child.” “ *“* Os course, the majority of adoptions handled by the Society involve babies, most of them no more than three months old. In such cases, It Is the new parents who must make adjustments. “They learn qufckly, too,” said Miss Tynes. “I’ve seen strong men tremble at the first experi ence with a milk bottle, but the baby helps and father soon gets the hang of it.” There Is no such thing as a ty pical child for adoption, or cou- L pie seeking to adopt. “Each case is individual, and ’ we handle it that way,’’ said Miss ’ Tynes. “Actually, though it might I appear that new born babies are . much alike, there are significant . differences which must be taken ( into account in finding the proper , i home. For example, the nurses who care for babies in our nur sery ban distinguish persona ity traits—one baby Is nervous, ano , ther Is agressive, while a third may be placid and calm.” Professional training in counse , ling, and other casework services, are resources used by the Society in the time-teonsuming process of picking homes for babies and bab ies for homes. William D. Snider, Society president and associate editor of the Greensboro Daily News, point |ed out that the statewid; area covered by the Socity is an ad vantage in siding homes for child ren. As an example, he noted that during 1963 homes were selected from more than 1,100 families living in 94 of the sta’rts 100 bounties. Volunteers are an imp”tant re sources for the Society, which op erates entirely on voluntary sup port. A board of directors of 78 prominent citizens, drawn from all walks of life and all parts of the state, guide the affairs of the Society. Clothing for babies and other gifts come from ‘hurch prouos, women’s clubs, act others. Junior Women’s Clubs , from many enm • muni ties he'p with transporting babies to the nursery in Greens boro. “This cutpouring of voluntary help makes us realize the keen concern our citizens feel for un > fortunate children In their midst, . and our own responsibility to glv' . piatetical expression to this con cern,” said Miss Tynes. » - NUMBER SIX
