Agency Urges Adoption
of Negro-Jewish Children
NEW YORK (JTA)—Increased
efforts are being made to find
Jewish parents willing to adopt
children born out of wedlock to
Jewish women and Negro Chris-
tian men. it was reported here by ;
the commission on synagogue rela-
tions of the Federation of Jewish
Philanthropies of New York.
The commission is working on
this project with the Louise Wise
Services. an agency which serves
predominantly unwed Jewish moth-
ers. Under Jewish law, a child
born to a Jewish mother is Jew-
ish. regardless of the father's reli-
gion.
According to Mrs. Mignon
Krause. a spokesman for the
Louise Wise Services, the agency
has placed 117 interracial Jewish
children for adoption in the 3L
years. Of these, she said, 11 had
been placed with white couples—
five of whom were Jewish and six
Christian. "We will not." she
said. "delay or deny adoption to,
a child for religious reas on s
alone."
Within that framework, the
committee called special atten-
tion to the feasibility of building
up existing teacher training
schools, in-service training and
the mounting of quality pro-
grams, especially at high school
levels_ It likewise called for:
1. Expansion of scholarship pro-
grams for teacher training to com-
pare with similar programs in pub-
lic education.
2. Family education in the
homes of children in Jewish
schools.
3. Avoidance of fragmentation
of schools that are too small to
provide quality education.
The board also expressed special
concern with the needs of the col-
lege group of Jewish students, and
with what federations and their
agencies can do in cooperation
with Hillel Foundations to help
build their understanding of Jewish
life and their involvement in it.
The board authorized the- estab-
lishment of a new national CJFWF
committer to formulate plans and
programs for local federation use
to help serve the special needs of
Jewish college students and faculty.
