A Survey of the Study Home Program of the Catholic Home Bureau, New York, 1947-1950
Abstract
Background of the Study. In September 1947, Angel Guardian Home in Brooklyn, New York, instituted its own adoption service. Up to that time, children from the Brooklyn agency had been placed for adoption by the Catholic Home Bureau, one of the oldest child caring agencies in the country and a branch of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York. It is engaged in the placement and supervision of Catholic dependent children in boarding and adoptive homes. Since Angel Guardian. Home's institutional and boarding facilities, which had accommodated young children who could not immediately go into adoptive homes, were no longer available, the Catholic Home Bureau had to find temporary homes for some of the children under consideration for adoptive placement. It was, therefore, largely out of this demand for a particular type of boarding home that the study home program grew.
