LAWS OF ADOPTION INDISTRICT SCORED Life and Well-Being of Chil- dren Endangered, Asserts Miss Terrett. ‘Tke law of the District governing the adoption of children endangers the life and well-being of every child born or resident of the District, Miss Mildred ‘Terrett, director of the Juvenile Protec- tive Association, declared today. Miss Terrett said the only safeguard | for a child being adopted under the | existing law is the provision which makes the child an heir to any property of the adoptive parents. Outside this provision, she declared, the child is at the mercy of chance | found into an adoptive home, the | words “If the judge shall find that the | petitioner is a proper person to have custody of the child,” being the only | ones recognizing the need of protection | against unscrupulous persons. Another laxity in the law, she said, is the absence of a suitable restriction against babies being taken from their | mothers shortly after birth. It is now possible, she declared, for an outside ty to go to a hospital soon after a by is born and interview a mother with the purpose of gaining her consent to giving her child over for adoption. ‘This, she said, means that in a number | of cases a child has been signed away | by its mother, or both parents, before a real opportunity to provide for it has NAMED BY CITIZENS OF MICHIGAN PARK E.
