children s aid so cieties finds itself in the somewhat unusual position of having a greater demand for adoptable children than can be filled by the existing number eligible for adoption t is a peculiar situation states hon eric cross minister of public welfare and municipal affairs a few years abofnidrenofadoption age constituted a real problem for our so cieties today we have not sufficient children to take care of the demand the reason was ascribed by the minister to the constantly increasing desire of childless couples to have children in their home in 1838 a peak was reached when 934 children were formally placed in adoption in this province this figure comparing with 784 the preceding year indlca uons are that the 1938 total will be exceeded during the current twelve months although such an increase of course depends entirely upon the number of clhldren available the matter of placements in adop tion homes mr cross points out is one that receives the careful consld eartton of the departtnent the socle ties and their superintendents as soon as a request for a child for adop tion is received and if a youngster is available a careful inspection of the prospective foster parents is made with a view to ascertai all the circumstances surrounding such an adoption after tbe child has been placed regular visits of inspection are made during a twoyear probation period in order to ensure that the child is receiving proper care and training only after this twoyear period has been completed do the adoptions actually become effective the demand for children for adop tion is principally for those of from three months to four years m age al though nearly all agea up to 4 years appear in the departments adoption records it has been found observes mr cross that adoption parents leave little to be desired m caring properly for their fosterctuldren and tbe af fectlon with which they regard them they take a pride and an interest in their child as if it were their own young you cant always teu about life for example there is the incident which took place at the meeting of the sault michigan chamber ot commerce the other evening when president george baldwin remark ed that many people had wondered how 83 yearold v r conway who was among those present managed to keep so young tu tell you part of it said mr conway rising to his feet and point
