Number of 'Homeless7 Children Said On Increase in America By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York HOT Home, sweet-home with a genuine mom and pop as head of the household is out of the grasp of an ever-g rowing number of children. So says the Child Welfare League of America, which es timates there are 250,000 children In the United States now living in foster homes; that half of these will spend most of their young lives without homes of their own; and that the number of chil dren "for whom foster care is becoming a permanent way of life" grows each year. The league includes these statistics in what it says is the first comprehensive study of American youngsters in foster care. The Field Foundation fi nanced the study. Dr. Henry S. Maas, professor of social welfare at the University of California at Berkeley, and two research teams spent a year talking to social work ers, interviewing judges, visit ing courts, and examining laws affecting children. Wide Sample Taken The study covered the case histories of 4,281 "children in limbo" in nine contrasting communities from coast to coast. One was a homogenous white Protestant town; anoth er,a city torn by differences in race and religion; one commu nity was rural; another, a bus tling city of one million, The researchers found that only two of every 10 foster children are adoptable in the eyes of the law. Only a fifth of these are adopted or returned to their parents. And if the youngster lives away from his parents for more than 18 months, the separation usually is indefinite in length. Few of the 4,281 children studied were true orphans. More than half were what the league called "living or phani" turned voluntarily over to social agencies by mothers and fathers because of broken homes, economic problems. Illness, or psycho logical reasons. Of the non-adoptables, the study found that some were too old; most adopting par ents want a child under four. Or, they were "different" of Negro, Portuguese, Spanish or American Indian origin; they were "Imperfect," below ave rage in intelligence or with serious physical defects: or they were "difficult." Half of the children studied "showed 7 t j ! -f JAINTV The tuit-dreaa Is perennial fnahlon favorite for Mn.v-throuffh-Sfptrtnhpr wear.

Forty players competed. signs of emotional disturb ance." The league said that al though foster care "often is a necessary substitute, It is rare ly a satisfactory solution. In stitutional life in no way du plicates family living." Suggestions Lilted It offered several ways to help these children, including: -Sufficiently high standards of public assistance, particu larly aid to dependent chil dren, so that youngsters are not forced into foster care; -Adequate housing, particu larly for low income and ra cial minority groups; -Marital counseling serv ices, day care for children of working mothers, and home maker services during family illness or other crises; -A "concerted community effort" to find homes for chil dren who are "different, ra cially, physically or emotion ally; -More trial adoptions, with the placement of handicapped children in foster homes where agencies pay medical and psychiaitric bills with the understanding that the home will become permanent if the trial period works out; -And subsidy of adoptive families for a limited time, if tliey are willing to adopt chil dren now with the prospect of higher Income in a few years.
