Once again. the protective provisions contained in the amendment are essential in insuring that these children will be properly treated after arrival here and I certainly concur in the following recommendations made by the Childrens Committee on Ameraslan Children and Youth of the American Council of Voluntary Agencies for Foreign Service. Inc.: The placement of Amerasian chidren and young adults in the United States should be carried out by well qualified child welfare agencies. Different alternatives such as family reunification. adoption. foster care or group placement should be considered according to individual cases. It is also pointed out by that same committee that Amerasian children will indeed have special needs based on the severe social and economical hardships that they have experienced over the years because of their mixed heritage. It is evident that these individuals. once admitted to the United States. will require special counseling and other social services leading to their assimilation into American society.
