But it hasn't been that way for Norman. He has had some unhappy, unsettled years which have left him without con- fidence either in himself or in the future. Norman needs the security of a home where he knows he belongs. Norman is a nice looking boy with a friendly smile, blue eyes, light brown hair, fair skin and freckles. He is in good health. His chest and underarms are scarred from severe burns in an ac- cident when he was a small boy. School has been difficult for Norman but he is doing better this year. Though in a special class, he has average ability so is expected to be able to move into regular classes later on. Active energetic Norman loves camping. He's a good swimmer and likes fishing. He plays lacrosse and hockey, has been working to improve his skating and wants to learn to ski. Norman gets on well with other children and adults find him appealing. He needs understanding, strong, loving parents who can welcome him as their son without demand for instant af- fection from him., To inquire about adopting Norman, please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2.
