babies head newly adapted babies wlu be adding a new excitement to the homes of five halton couples some time this month a merry christmas present arranged through a cooperative under standing between halton child rens aid society and the c as groups in many larger centres in ontario on thursday five babies rang ing from newborns about 10 days old to one four months of age arrived en masse in the halton ca headquarters on hugh st in milton it was in the words of one staffer organized bedlam for a couple of hours but the staff weathered the storm quite well a few even offered to bake home one or two of the cute wee infants operation adoption began in london that morning and reached its climax about noon when the five homeless waifs and three london caji caseworkers ar rived in milton in a large rented chauffeurdriven limousine lat er that day they left for foster parents homes around the county where after a short stay for adoptive homes they will probably be placed in adoptive homes in time for christmas the mass transfer from lon don to milton was an emercency situation but halton caa offic ials felt the project warranted some publicity as it exemplified the spirit of cooperation that exists between cas agencies around the province london cajs was desperate we got a call for assistance a week ago explained dr gordon k askwith halton cas dir ector unmarried mothers he pointed out flocked to the larger centres when their babies are due and the city childrens aid societies have a problem in com- pletlng adoptions for such a large influx of newborns in such cases the city agencies put out a distress signal to area counties where the birth rates are lower but adoptive parents have to stay on a waiting list this has all been a bit of a panic but london was a little desperate dr askwith explain ed so we said send them down here we can place them adoptive parents like to obtain their adopted children as soon as possible after birth so the five who arrived from london thurs day shouldnt have any trouble finding good homes with loving parents most prefer to adopt a child at three to six weeks of age right now the halton society has 35 foster parents homes available to take in children for short periods of time until the right adoptive parents can be found cas workers help se lect the right child for the right home last year halton childrens aid completed 74 adoptions and 59 per cent of all the children classed as in care of the ca s in halton were adopted and uving in adoptive homes we have a good interagency system the director said halton often helps larger urban centres with adoptions because of the countys high density of middle- class homes with young couples who for personal or health rea sons wish to adopt a child thursdays project just had to be a big success according to chauffeur george lahlve of lon don who drove the big ninepass enger umousine to milton there wasnt a squawk out of them all the way down london cas
