Home Finders Kansas Families to Be Asked to Adopt Them
Grant Hornaday of Fort Scott proposes reorganizing the state soldiers orphans home to place 200 children with Kansas families as temporary wards while permanent homes are found. He argues the home should act as a temporary shelter, with agents seeking lasting adoptions across the state rather than housing orphans for years at state expense. He promotes recruiting skilled home finders to locate permanent families and believes many Kansas families would adopt if directions were available.
