Norway or Denmark or Holland or France or some other country. The amendment I have offered to the committee amendment will make it possible for the ordinary. average American citizen to initiate adoption proceedings in this country. Under my proposal. all that such a citizen will have to do will be to guarantee such a war orphan a good home. and to have a good background and good financial resources. sufficient to meet the requirements of the immigration laws and of the rules and regulations of the Commission. Mr. President. it seems to me that my amendment to the committee amendment Is a little more generous than the committee amendment. not only as to the numbers of orphans who might be admitted into the United States. but also In respect to people in this country who are childless. and who may wish to adopt a child in order to make their homes a little more happy.
