One Church One Child adoption program reaches nine states
Chicago priest Rev. George H. Clements championed a national drive to place homeless black children. Illinois DCFS reports adoption activity rise with 700 Chicago area children waiting earlier, down to 200 statewide and 35 in Chicago. About 400 Illinois children found homes last year, with 65 percent faster adoption this year. DCFS eases rules permitting single renters and modest incomes. Louisiana, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, New York, Rhode Island and Delaware join the program as national spread grows.
