AIDS orphans wait for adoptive homes in Worcester care
In Worcester Massachusetts social workers report about one third of children born with AIDS are orphaned or abandoned at birth and many die in hospital as foster or adoptive homes cannot be found. Massachusetts has 18 AIDS children awaiting homes with eight families expressing interest and guardians like Peggy Marengo and a friend caring for two infants and a 4 year old while facing intense caregiving demands and high medical costs.
