Et is a substitute family home for children who cannot be with theiir own parents, but who need a family setting raither than that of an ‘institution. ARE THESE CHILDREN ADOPT ED BY THE FOSTER PARENTS? No. Adoption is not the func tion of a foster home. The faster parents, peirform the duties of parents to the child of others. ARE THERE MANY FOSTER STOP SWARMING TERMITES call HOMES IN NORTH CAROLINA? Currently (there are over 1,300 licensed foster homes In the State. WHY DO WE NEED THESE FOS TER HOMES? The county departments of public welfare place children in foster homes for varied reasons. Some of their parents are physi cally till; some are mentally ill. Some parents who are unable to face the problems of their lives abandon Itheir children. Some parents die. Some children come from homes where they were not wanted and are not loved. Some times they have parents who hav been cruel to them. There are certain (things to which every child has a birthright. He has a right to be loved and to learn to love others. He has a right to be respected ats a human indivi dual in a free society. He has a right to be taught whalt is right and what iis wrong and what so ciety will expect of him. Foster homes seek to provide this bir thright for the children in their care. DO THE REAL PARENTS VISIT THEIR CHILDREN IN FOSTER HOMES? Yes, the majority of these chil dren have parents who visit them, and faster parents must be willing to tvelcome the chil dren’s parents when ithey come. I WHAT KIND OF CHILDREN ARE PLACED IN FOSTER HOMES? Fosteir children are like all children. Some are tiny babies. Same are big boys and girls. Sometimes they’re good, some times they’re mischievous. Some of them are white, some are Neg ro. Some are very bright, some not so bright. Some have physi cal handicaps. They 'are only a like in that they cannot live with their own parents. WHAT ARE QUALIFICATIONS OF FOSTER PARENTS? They muslt be able to give chil dren good physical care, good food, cleanliness, quiet sleep, fresh air, safety from fire and health hazards. They must know how children should be cared for and be willing to learn from the social worker from the county department of public welfare. They must be able to do the phy sical work that all children make, and they must also cher ish children. The National Press Club in Washington, D. C., posted the following notice: “John F.
