PAGE 14 TERRACE BAY NEWS MARCH 23, 1977 ' TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN Bc ta Bo AT THE TORONTO '53! J1'] SYNDICATE Angie is a beautiful child, 2'2 years old with black curly hair and big dark eyes. Those lovely eyes have no sight, and in addition Angie is microcephalic. This means her head is smaller than average so there is not room for her brain to grow to a normal size. With blindness and the fact that she is below average mentally Afigie will need much specialized help along with much love as she grows. Since it is difficult to test a child with her handicaps, Angie's potential is unknown. But her " progress is good considering her problems and it is felt that she is capable of learning. Angie is a strong, active child in good general health. She is generally contented and can play happily by herself, but it she is frustrated she can throw herself out of her stroller so she needs a good deal of supervision. . Angie can be a lovable challenge for a mother and father who want to commit themselves to helping a child. They will find rewards in her slow but steady progress, in the oc- _casional cuddle and in the beautiful sweet smile that often lights her, whole face. : It is hoped adopting parents will be found for Angie but alternately the Children's Aid Society will be interested in hearing from families who will make a long term com- mitment to this child on a foster care basis. To inquire about adopting Angie, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. In your letter tell something of your present family and your way of life. For general adoption, contact your local Children's Aid Society.
