Daddy. Of course this handsome Tittle boy, who will have his third birthday in two months, is too-:young°to know heis one of Ontario's many children without parents. But he is puzzled, because. he has had several moves and really, doesn't -know where he belongs. Blair very much needs to be adopted so he can have the love and security of a home of his own. This is a friendly, affectionate child who loves attention and enjoys con- versation, though his contribution isn't always. ander-, standable.. He is not demanding and can entertain himself easily. ,with TV, _ coloring_ _.books_ -and mechanical toys, especially . anything with wheels. • Blair has big brown eyes', light brown hair and fair skin. He was slow in 0 walking and has not yet fully developed leg co-ordination •but is in good health. with no hereditary diseases • in his background. He has been learning both English and, = French so could fit well into a family` where either 1 guage is spoken. To inquire about adopting Blair please vJ�ite to Today's Child, Department of Social and Family Services, Parliament Buildings, Toronto 5.
