Child Adoption Theme Of Panel Discussion A panel discussion on adop- tion at the annual meeting of the Ontario County and City of Oshawa Children's Aid Society, Thursday night, held the un- divided attention of a capacity audience in the All Saints Angli- can church hall, Whitby. Firing controversial questions on adoption to the panel was the moderator, Dr. Kenneth Hobbs, a Whitby practitioner for the past five years. Members of the panel were: Mrs. Charles Hoag, a director of the Chil- dren's Aid Society; Dr. James R. Bayne of Oshawa who has been a paediatrician for 25 years; Dr. Charles Jackson, a psychologist with the Oshawa Mental Health Clinic and George Dove, Peterborough Children's Aid So- clety. MENTIONED IN BIBLE In outlining the history of adoption for the benefit of the audience, Mr. Dove who is a professional social worker, stated that adoption was an old practice and was mentioned in the Bible. Prior to 1921-in Can- ada, when adoption was intro- duced for the first time, chil- dren were contracted from one family to another, he pointed out. . In 1921, 25 children were legally adopted, he said, but in recent years, 5,000 children are adopted by families annually. "Ontario has a very good Adoption Act," said Mr. Dove, "and it provides the maximum amount of security for the child and the new parents. There are no strings attached to the child,"' he concluded, "he or she ty a true member of the fam- FEES OPPOSED The first question asked of the panel by Dr. Hobbs was: "Should the Children's Aid charge fees for adoptive serv- nea?" "It is cruel to pay fees for a baby," answered Mrs. Hoag, "and I think it would be wrong. You could never pay what it is director of the) worth to get an adopted child into the home." "The adoptive parent must know something about the child and the parents," Dr. Jackson disagreed, "and this means en- gaging professional services to obtain this information. I think the new parents should be pre- pared to pay for these profes- sional services." FAVOR TELLING CHILD The second point discussed, "Should the child be told he is adopted?"' received affirmative answers from all four panelists. "I think the child should be told at an early age," said Dr. Bayne, "but that the informa- tion be related in a gradual pro- questions of his origin.' "The child should not be told too early," opined Mrs. Hoag, "and it should not be told with any emphasis. I think it is a part of growing up for the adopted child." "The child must be told as soon as possible as it is bad to start life with a lie," said Dr. Jackson. In agreeing with his fellow panelists, Mr. Dove pointed out that unfort:~°'ely: in Ont there were a good many ac >t of their adoption. 'In fact there are even children who know of their adoption and parents who know but who have never dis- cussed it with each other," he added. SHOULD KNOW GRADUALLY "What information shoud be made available to the adopted child about racial origin, ances- try and parents?" questioned Dr. Hobbs. "The adopted child should be given this information gradual- ly," stated Dr. Jackson, "for it is important for the child to establish his true identity..It is a phase of normal development for all children should be given truthful answers to all of their questions." Dr. Bayne agreed with Dr. FORT ERIE ENTRIES Saturday, April 28, 1962 FIRST RACE Three and four-year-olds. Purse} 114; $1800, claiming all $2500, 614 furlongs. . Cascais, Rogers 120 .

The child should be told} as soon as he begins to ask} Jackson and added that the adopted child wanted to be se- cure and should be given the answers to all questions on background. |WRONG IMPRESSION Mr. Dove said that because some adopted children were curious about their true parent- age, some parents felt that their child was not happy in the new home. "This is a wrong impres- sion," he said, 'for adults can be curious about other employ- ment and still be happy in their present employment." Adoption agenciés, he said, often held back information which would be harmful for the child and new parents to know. "Adoption agencies must re- lease information about the child's health and his family's health,"" he added. In reply to the question "Should the original name of the child be removed?", Mr. Dove pointed out that the child's original name legally had to ap- pear on the application form and also legally on the adop- tion order. '"'The adoption order serves as a transfer docu- ment," he explained, "and it has to describe the individual ,eing transferred, according to ed children who were unaware|the law." SHATTERING EXPERIENCE "It is a shattering thing for the new parents to see the orig- inal name of their new child on the adoption papers when they arrive at the home," said Mrs. Hoag. "It is a very cruel thing for both parent and child and fortunately the birth certificate is changed so that it is the same as a natural child's." "I don't see that it serves any useful purpose in the develop- ment of the child that he used to have some other surname," expressed Dr. Jackson. Mr. Dove informed the panel that there is a motion before the CAS Conference that the child's original name be omit- |ted from the adoption papers. |RELIGIOUS STATUS The moderator requested brief opinions of the issue: "Should a child's religion be a jbar to his place of adoption?" "If a home, which follows the same religion as the child, is lavailable then he should be placed in that home,' stated Dr. Bayne. "Before answering the ques- tion I would have to know the age of the child up for adop- tion," stated Dr. Jackson. "If the child is over 12 years of age, I think he should be placed in a home of his religion but a home of his religion but a child child under one year, doesn't really have a religion and it makes no difference where he is placed." "A child has a right to a permanent home," said Mr. Dove, 'and if a home is avail- able which has the same re- ligion as the child, he should be placed there. If not, the child should be placed in the best home available, regardless of religious faith." "My answer is positively no!"' Mrs. Hoag emphasized. "Re- ligious barriers should not pre- vent the adoption of a child." 4. The Nutts, Bolin 117 - 5. Bay Sovereign, Fitzs's. 114 6. Burnt Roman, Adams 117 7. Prize Crew, Potts 116 8.

It is the intention of the To- ronto club to form a core of local people from which a club can be built. Said Clifford C. Osborne, Lieutenant-Governor of District 15 of Optimist International: "For the club you are trying to form you want a cross sec- tion of business people in town. There must be things in the community that are not done by other clubs." Stewart R. Alger, a past president of the Oshawa Rotary Club, who attended the meeting, agreed that there would be place for another service club in Oshawa. "I am very much interested in seeing an Optimist Club come to Oshawa," he said. Optimist Club of Toronto came to Oshawa Thursday night to discuss the possibil- ity of forming an Optimist Club here.
