TERRACE BAY NEWS PAGE 17 FEBRUARY 7, 1979 TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN - A THE TORONTO 5!J)'] SYNDICATE FOR RELEASE FEB. 12th, 1979 Kenny is a lovable baby with brown hair, greenish-blue eyes and fair skin. He is always good-natured and usually smiling. : This baby was born with Down's Syndrome (mongol- ism). That means he will be behind in development though he is doing well now. Unlike some Down's chil- dren, he is very active and he has none of the health problems often associated with his condition. Kenny has a good appetite and he sleeps right through the night. If he wakens early he plays happily in his crib till somebody comes to pick him up. Just now his favorite playthings are his own hands. Kenny loves children so it is hoped he can be adopted where he will have older brothers and sisters. This little fellow can bring joy to parents who can accept him as he is, offer him much stimulation and help him become as independent as possible as he grows. To inquire about adopting Kenny, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and social Ser- vices, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2.
