Hongkong by the "Bulletin" on Friday. !

London, June 14

CHILD ADOPTION.

STATUTORY & PUBLIO CONTROL:

The report of the Seleer Coas miuza appointed by a conference held last November to disenss the question of child adoption WAS issued recently by the Associated Soziaties for the Care and Maintenance of Infants. The Committee was presided over by the late Duchess of Bedford, and included representatives, of the London Country Council and various organisations of a nation- al and local character.

The Committee state that the; maintenance of natural ties and family life is essential to the | well-being of the community, and

that the adoption of children; should be practised only in ex ceptional cases in which the separation of mother and child is virinally inevitable.

"No system of adoption," the Committes continued, “can in any appreciable degree diminish the number of illegitimare children to be deal with, because very many of these childr n are un suitable for adoption. In view of follows the rejection of an applic the disappointment that naturally ation for adoption, the applicants may become a prey to unscrapul- ous persona who may offer to arrange adoptions with evil inten- tions.
