Video tape promises to eliminate much of the potential trauma of adoption procedures while making it far easier for agencies to unite prospective parents and children from different parts of the country. It was Norman W. Paget, 45, executive director of the Erie County Children's Aid Society, who thought of employing video tape in adoption after watching the instant replays used for televised pro-football games...
