Foundling Home Children Arrive in Minot from Newark
Two sisters from Newark brought six young foundling children to Minot last Friday night. The youngsters, average two years old, were placed with Catholic families after a careful separation process. The sisters reported the children were well behaved and taught to march in twos in blue coats and Tam O’Shanter hats. The story recalls a child’s plea to a new caregiver and describes the long application wait for new placements. The New York Foundling Society has previously sent over sixty babies to homes, with only six of the recent group remaining in Minot. One boy hid whenever another child was taken away, underscoring the strong bonds formed during care.
