During their first of ficc interview, the caseworker treated them with sue' cour tesy and consideration 11; e y realized their utters were un warranted, In the following of fice and : ome visits, the Jones es came to look upon tl.elr case worket as a warm, understand- ing friend who was genuinely interested in them. They soon understood that the purpose of the home study was to help the Joneses know and understand what Is involv ed in adoptive parenthood, to help the agency know ts tl oy could offer a stable home life to a child, and to learn what type of child could develop hap pily in their family. The case v orker discussed with Marie and Sam their feelings about c ildren, their ideas on parental responsibilities, their financial ability to provide for a family , and w: other Marie would need to continue Iter part-time work as a licensed practical nurse. The caseworker also talked vv it’, their physician, minister and other references. A short while aftei the 1 ome study was completed, the Joneses received a letter from the Society telling them their home had been approved. Now that they knew a child would be placed In their home, their day s were busily filled with prepara tions for the baby’s arrival.

Mario and Satn couldn’t tesist shopping for a special "cotsting home’’ outfit for the little Itoy or girl who would soon bethoii own. Every thing and everyone was In a state of readiness for that all important telephone call. Marie continued working, but arranged to take a leave of ab sence when their baby came, lb t trips to the grocery store and on other errands were as brief as possible; she didn’t want to lie away from the tele phone for very long at a time. Sam began asking every day, as soon as he got horn, If there I tad been any word from tl.elr Caseworker. At last, one evening just at mealtime, the call came. Their caseworker told them about a baby boy, whom ti e Society staff felt was the right child for their home. She asked If they could be in Greensboro the ne.xt day at eleven o’clock to see him In tlie Society's nursery. Indeed they could! They hardly slept a wink all night. The next morning, at the So ciety's office, the caseworker told Marie and Sam about the child's medical history and non identifying family background information. Listening very carefully to her every word, the Joneses felt that tne baby being described to them was truly the right one for their home. They asked if they might see him. The caseworker took Marie and Sam to the tooni in the nur sery where a brtghteyed three month old baby lay In a bassinet te. Sb.e left them alone with him to decide whether this was the child they could love as their own. One look at the tiny boy made all the waiting worthwhile. Little Sammy slept almost all the way home in his mother’s aims. Some of the Joneses’ relatives and many of their neighborhood friends were on hand to greet them when they pulled In the driveway. Hours later, after the last well-wisher bad left and the baby had been diapered and fed for the night, Marie and Sam bent over the PAPA TOM’S tUIKItH HUT 708 ROCK QUARRY ROAD-OPEN 11 TO 11 illilliillisi^iiiiiii^^ This picture tolls the stery and also shov,s the pleasant atmosphere found at Papa Tom’s, Give it a t-y and you will never deny its quality service.
