, Dying Mother Picks Foster
Parents for Two Children
Duluth, Minn. U.R Mrs.
Evelyn Paro, 44, dying of cancer,
played with her two young sons
and waited for the moment when
death will force her to turn
them over to the "wonderful"
foster parents she has selected.
Gerald, 6, doesn't understand
why his "mommy" must leave
him, but Gordon, 9, is aware of
what is happening to his mother.
Many Application!
Mrs. Paro chose Mr. and Mrs.
Warren Moore as her sons' foster
parents. She had sorted through
some 300 applicants while she
lay in her sick room bed here.
"The Moores are wonderful
people, and I know they will be
happy with my two sons," the
dying woman said.
Moore, a well - known civic
leader and state representative,
is the father of four grown chil
dren. Mrs. Paro said that the adop
tion documents probably will be
signed Monday.
Boys To Stay Until End
But she vowed to keep Gerald
and Gordon with her until the
inroads the disease is making in
her body become too great.
When the incurable cancer
kills her, the boys will move
'MIS
WITH THE
to their new home and change
their last name to Moore. They
will keep their mother's maiden
name, Englund, as a middle
name.
Mrs. Paro and her relatives
inlisted the aid of a local news
paper in their search for foster
parents for the children. She
learned six weeks ago that she
was suffering from Incurable
cancer.
Mrs. Paro worked a back
breaking double shift to support
her children while she was still
in good health. She collected tips
as a night waitress after finish
ing a daily shift as a bookkeeper.
