If I understand the Senators inquiry correctly. I think I can best answer it by reading this short provision from the bill: (d) "Eligible displaced orphan" means a displaced person (1) who is under the age of 14 years. and (2) who Is qualified under the immigration laws of the United States for admission into the United States for permanent residence. and (3) who is an orphan because of the death or disappearance of both parents. and (4) who. on or before the effective date of this act. was in Italy or in the American zone. the British zone or the French zone of either Germany or Austria. and (5) for whom satisfactory assurances in accordance with the regulations of the Commission have been given that such person. if admitted into the United States. will be cared for properly. So I take it if a man and wife living In this country desired to adopt an orphan who had not yet been brought to this country. they would have to do it through the Commission and under the regulation of the Commission. Provision Is made in the. bill as it is now written for persons who are abroad. that is. American citizens who are abroad. to adopt on the ground. that is. in Europe. and bring the child back with them. without quota assignment. but the problem posed by the amendment is that of sending over to get the child. or going over and bringing the child back. and having the adoption proceedings here.
