Show Adopting African Babies The McBurney orphanage at Elat, Africa, recently reported C9 orphan or-phan babies under their care. There are also 60 childless families waiting wait-ing for babies to adopt. They cannot can-not just say "give me a baby"; they must present a written application telling of their wish and Christian experience. Unless they are church members they cannot have a child. Their church session or one of the missionaries must also recommend the couple. The foster mother Is visited as frequently as possible after aft-er the child leaves to see that all Is well. As far as possible the babies ba-bies are returned to their own tribe and have been sent to the homes of masons, carpenters, chauffeurs, teachers and evangelists the latter lat-ter predominating, says the Mont real Herald. |
