Barnardo Babies Can Be Adopted
By JAMES BARTLETT
LONDON.
OOD NEWS for just a few of the thousands of people who want to adopt a child...· Dr Barnardo's Homes (caring for 7,000 children up to 18) has been registered as an adoption society.
How many children will this release? "Not more than 20 in a year," said an official of Dr Barnardo's, "Our first aim is still to reunite a child with its parents or relatives, even if this takes years."
Welcome this as a first step in ending, the apparently farcical situation in which Britain hus 125,000 "unwanted" children-and yet turns away hundreds of would-be adopters each year. PARADOX-1
Even an Australian surgeon and his wife who came 12,000 miles to find two homeless children they could take back as their own failed in their search.
They had rend in the Curtis Report the dis- turbing story of children denied normal family care and affection. And they had rend the re- commendations:--

2 "SATISFACTORY boarding- oul is to be preferred to institutional care for all suitable children."
3 "A FRESH START in a new country for children with an unfortunate background may be the foundation of a happy life."
Yet the answer to all their in- quiries in Britain was: "Sorry. No Jebildren are available."
