ADOPTION SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN Many children in British Columbia do not have permanent homes. Potential adoptive parents “perfect” baby, and do not often consider taking an older child, or a handicapped child, or a sibling group into their homes. Yet there are many such child- ren in British Columbia who are waiting to be adopted. The best potential homes must be found for them, from a wide range of possibilities, so - that each child is placed with the right family. Special needs children need the same love and security as all children if they are to thrive and become proud members of our society. You'll have to be prepared to face special challenges with your adopted child: Youll need to be very realistic. But if you think adoption is for you, perhaps you'll make a permanent place in your life fora child with special needs. WHO ARE SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN? Not all children come up for adoption at birth. Those who do, and are not placed within their first year, often have physical or mental handi- caps, and may have spent all of their lives in fost- er care, or hospitals, or both. These children have very particular special needs and may require ex- tended medical care throughout their lives. Some children are not free for adoption until they are three or four years old, or even school- aged. They will have lived with their natural fam- ilies, but possibly also with one or more foster families as well. In certain cases, even while per- manent homes are being sought for them, these children are not “legally” free, which makes their lives less than stable at a time when security and stability are crucial to their development. Children of mixed races, native Indian children, groups of children from one family, even teen- agers all need permanent homes. Whether they have physical or mental handicaps, developmental difficulties or legal problems, the fact is that as children grow older, they become increasingly dif- ficult to place. Théy become children with special needs, who need special parents. - ll Saints Anglicans SERVICES - Sunday - 11:00 A.M.

Ph, 778-7388 You may have heard that it is extremely difficult to adopt children, and this is true if you are hop- ing to bring home a new- -born baby or an infant under one year, But it isn’t quite the case if you haven't yet decided who the “right” child is for you. Any responsible adult may adopt children with special needs, regardless of age, sex, race, back- ground, marital or working status. So long as you can demonstrate the desire and ability to fulfill parental obligations, and possess good general physical and mental health that will not hinder the carrying out of parental responsibilities, there’s a good chance you qualify. Our prime consideration is bringing the “right” children together with the ~ right” families. Be- cause, like all children, those with special needs deserve the best possible parents. A FAMILY FOR LIFE afm The child you may adopt will already be an in- dividual when you’ meet him or her. Unlike in- fants, special needs children have already had ex- periences that color their view of the world. They have likes and dislikes, habits, attitudes, their own peculiar brands of charm, and probably sears. The handicapped child will have spent time in hospital, The teenager who can’t recall a secure family life may have had a scrape with the law. Children from the same family have probably been separ- ated for periods of time. Whatever their special needs, even when they have known love, these _ children know what it feels like to not be sure where they belong. Even though they may want very much to be part of your family, special needs children will need time to come to terms with their new life in their own unique ways. Knowing they have a family for life, who will stand behind them and urge them on, can mean the difference between having just a piece of life _and profiting from their whole share.

The only life that there was, was in the form of fish and other small animals and birds. We know that there was another realm, and this realm sustained life. Not life as we know it but on a plane that we could never imagine. This is the * home of the mighty Chief who is all over. Could you picture a beautiful Island that is invisible in the sky? No, you couldn't, nor could you explain it. It is something that we as humans or Ongwa- hoo-e are not supposed to question. On this plane of life a beautiful tree was growing, not an ordinary tree, beauty. This tree bore all manner of good things — in its foliage and gave off the most pleasant frag rances. s Now this Chief had a daughter whom he loved very much, and for some reason she became ill with some strange sickness. Only, the roots from the tree would be suitable to make her whole again, (Remember that this all happened not on this earth but in a higher world). She took the beautiful tree and pulled it up from the place it was growing, making a great cavity in the floor of the upper world. Just as she uprooted the tree . she stumbled and fell headlong toward the earth and faced certain death by drowning. Then, wing- ing from the clear sky, a water fowl suddenly ap- peared and flew straight to the maiden, took her on his back and gently sat her down on the back denly, all the small animals in the water got very excited and some strange instinct told thém that they must not let the maiden drown. In desperation they dived very deep into the wat- er and each in turn brought up small pieces of earth. The beaver, the otter, the marten, muskrat _. and many, many tiny animals working. together 5 eventually had enough, to. sustain JR My, people have this picture depicting this event.

In their attempt to get at some fresh meat in Mr. Allan Marion’s suburban, they shattered his back window. At this point, Ken Kelly and the owner of the vehicle Mr. Marion, rushed from their houses carrying their rifles. Both men plugged three shots each into the grizzlies, killing them. So the out turn of this dramatic moment took a turn to, the best. Be Se ee Se Se On September 27 a community meeting was held in the community hall, The guest speakers were ‘A. Passarell, J.
