Stars home community As they both wanted a large family and had only the two children the Starrs decided to adopt a child Many other coup- reach similar decisions but not often do they seek the solu tion which the Starrs chose Mr Starr had spent two years in China during the war ex plained Mrs Starr He learned a lot about the Chinese people acquiring a respect for their cul tural heritage and an admiration for their ability to maintain their own identity in the face of great adds In my years of social work I too learned to assess people on their individual merits As Quakers we share the Christian belief in the brother hood of man under the father- hood of God and we felt we should do a little more than talk about it All these factors seemed to point a finger in the same direc tion Why not adopt a Chinese child Living away from the city as we do it would give our children a firsthand opportunity I to find out that even though the Chinese people live on the other side of the world they are not essentially different After having reached this de cision the Starrs wrote to the Childrens Aid Society The so ciety selected a 17month old girl whose father was Chinese and whose mother was Canadian for them Up to this point it was pure theorizing continued Mrs Starr But the day we saw her dressed in a gorgeous yellow dress look ing up at us with big sad brown eyes theories fell by the way side Our hearts immediately be came involved The first few months were dif ficult as the little girl seemed afraid and insecure She de manded no attentions as if she felt she hadnt the right to live Gradually her natural selfassur ance began to develop and she was behaving normally crying when it was bedtime and assert ing herself more and more with the other children said Mrs Starr I think our older sons re action when I told him he was going to have a little brother or sister best illustrates the attitude of the other children to Lucie Christopher insisted he wanted a Chinese brother When we ex plained that it couldnt be Chi nese his reaction was Well why dont we give up the whole idea and go to the Childrens Aid where we got Lucie THEATRE PARTY The Business and
