child happy and has blessed many
a home with childish prattie.
An incident jim which the Home
figured occurred in the last few
days--a mother made happy who
has been yearning for seven years TO
be reunited with her baby girl.
Nearly eight years ago the man
ayers of the Childrens Home learned
that a mother was unable to pro
vide the necessities of life for her
baby and therefore took the child
in charge, later finding family
willing to give the child a home,
this family adopting the child.
The board OF managers kept
track of the child and It's real moth
er. They learned that the mother
few years ago married happily.
The foster mother of the child died
very recently. They also learned
the foster father was not prepared
10 raise a child of eight years or
age, whereupon the managers. of |
the Home sent request to the
mother and her husband to come to |
Cairo. Upon arrival the situation
was explained to them, and the |
mother being cver-joyed at the un-
expected, whereby there was a
chance to be reunited to her child |
appealed TO her husband who
1romntly gave his consent to take
lis wtfe's child into their home,
provided the foster father would re-
inuuish all claims.
Accordingly representative of
