Mr. President. I bring before the Senate today a heartwarming. but potentially tragic. situation involving an orphaned child in the Philippines and a loving woman who wants to adopt him. but has been thwarted by technicalities in our immigration laws. Antonio Plameras spent his first several months in a Manila foundling home. from which babies are either adoptedif they are very luckyor moved after 1 year to an orphanage. According to Miss Dorothy Person. a long time employee of the Agency for International Development. who is now stationed in Manila. her mother started doing volunteer work at the foundling home through an AID service organization.
