ADOPTION

A HUSBAND AND WIFE WHO WORK FOR

THE CIRCUS WENT TO AN

ADOPTION AGENCY.

SOCIAL WORKERS THERE RAISED

DOUBTS ABOUT THEIR SUITABILITY.

THE COUPLE PRODUCED PHOTOS OF THEIR

50-FOOT MOTOR HOME, WHICH IS CLEAN AND

WELL MAINTAINED AND EQUIPPED WITH

A BEAUTIFUL NURSERY.

THE SOCIAL WORKERS RAISED CONCERNS

ABOUT THE EDUCATION A CHILD

WOULD RECEIVE WHILE IN THE COUPLE'S CARE.

"WE'VE ARRANGED FOR A FULL-TIME TUTOR

WHO WILL TEACH THE CHILD ALL THE USUAL

SUBJECTS ALONG WITH FRENCH, MANDARIN

AND COMPUTER SKILLS."

THE SOCIAL WORKERS EXPRESSED

CONCERN ABOUT A CHILD BEING RAISED

IN A CIRCUS ENVIRONMENT.

"OUR NANNY IS A CERTIFIED EXPERT

IN PEDIATRIC CARE, WELFARE, AND DIET."

THE SOCIAL WORKERS WERE FINALLY

SATISFIED. THEY ASKED,

"WHAT AGE CHILD ARE YOU HOPING TO ADOPT?"

"IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER,

AS LONG AS THE KID FITS IN THE CANNON."
