Quoting.."The Society has placed more than 36,000 children in adoptive homes since its founding in 1891." Golly..that's more than 400 adoptions per year, every year over a span of 81 wonderful years of service to mankind. The specific article went onto explain that the Children’s Home Society is licensed in California to provide child welfare services in all 58 counties, including unmarried parent services and adoption services for relinquished children and their adoptive families, In reference to figures com=; piled for 1971, the Society re<: ports that a total of 810 chil= dren relinquished to CHS were placed in adoptive homes; 799 of these went to families approved by the agency and ll into homes of six other agencies. In additon to that, 79 children from 20 other agencies were placed in CHS homes, including one who came from Florida and three from Texas. The report goes on.."Similar to experience in past years, the great majority of CHS children were placed before they were three months old..632 to be exact. For the first time, there were enough families available for infants of all minority backgrounds, and they moved as quickly into their adoptive homes as did the white babies." Of the financial side of the story..the report states: " A record $715,952, or 29 per cent of the Society's 1971 operating budget, was met thru the fund raising efforts of 250 auxiliaries working throughout Californiato support the agency.

Nothing to it, really..until I stopped short in my tracks and asked myself what I had in mind to feed the people when they arrived? So..I walked into the kitchen and "invented" something.. at least I think I did..and here's how it went: I mixed up two packages of Raspberry jello according to directions, using the ice cube method of faster cooling.
