Three black social services
yrganizations have regis-
:£rea snarp opposition to
:he placement practices
nvolving black Vietnamese
orphans who were airlifted
nere from South Vietnam.
Ebokesmen charged that
the practices denied black
Vietnamese orphans the
opportunity to iM adopted
by black American families.
The Afro-American Family
and Community Services of
Chicago, the Black Child
Develdpment Institute of
Washington, and Homes
for Black Children of
Detroit said they wanted to
have a "say-so" on what
happens to black children
coming here from Vietnam.
"Since the airlift began,
the vast majority of the
black Vietnamese orphans
have been placed with
white families. ' said Alfred
B. Herbert. Jr., director of
BCDl s Black Child Ad
vocacy Adoption Project.
“At the same time." he
added. '40 black families
have been recruited and
approved by licensed adop
tion agencies, yet only five
orphans have been assigned
to these families
"It is our belief., that the
best placement for black
Vieinamesi* orphans is with
black tamilies.' Herberl

that ihe^e children can he^ii
