= The District will be able to
help more local couples adopt
children from foreign lands
after the first Of the year, Pub
lie Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea said yesterday.
The service is offered now on
q limited basis by the depart
ment. he reported, and has been
confined to couples who are re-
lated to the child. or who have
lived abroad and know the
youngster they want to take
into their home.
This program will be ex-
panded, Mr.. Shea said, while
the department also is consider
ing working with other couples
who want to adopt a foreign
1ehild. Several already have
asked for assistance, he said.
If the program is broadened
in this way, the welfare de-
partment would conduct home
studies Of local families for
agencies such as International

with headquarters in New York,
Is a non-sectarian organization
that knows Of available chill
dren abroad and acts as a

adoptions.
A home study involves sew
, eral visits by a social worker
to a couple who hope to adopt
a child, as well as a check of
character and medical refer
enceS.
The Districts expanded serv-
ice is being made possible by
the addition of another social
worker to the 12-worker adop-
ton section Of the Child We'll
fare Division.
d. Three of the 80 children the
Welfare Department placed in
. adoption last year were from
foreign lands, Mrs. Lucia
Whittemore, senior supervisor
Of the adoption section, re-
ported.
Two youngsters, of Negro
German extraction, were taken
! into Negro homes here. The
third was a Chinese child,
adopted by a nese-American
couple.
Many From Asia
Few white foreign children
are available now for adoption,
welfare workers note, while
many children from Asia are.
