New Adoptions
|Setup Is Used

The District Welfare Depart.
ment is changing its procedures
under which an unwed mother
gives up her child for adoption
to keep most such cases out o1
the Juvenile Court.
Miss A. Patricia Morss, con-
sultant to the Welfare Director
denied that this is being done be-
cause of the presence of reporters
in the court. The department
however, is trying to get Juve-
nile Court Judge Edith Cockrill
to clear the court of reporters
in all such cases.
The new procedure was au-
thorized by law a year ago. II
allows a mother to sign a form
relinquishing her rights over her
child. This, filed with the clerk
of the U. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia, has the
same effect as a court commit
ment, according to an opinion
handed down by the Corporation
Counsel May 18.
Private adoption agencies have
been using this system for many
years. Miss Morss said that cut
ting out the court hearing helps
the unwed mother who feels "a
deep concern and shame which
she doesn't want to share with
more than few persons"
More persons would come in
contact with the mother in the
court proceeding, whether re-
porters are present or not, Miss
Morss said. Under the agree
ment between Judge Cockrill
and the newspapers by which
reporters cover the court. no
personal identification is made
in any case there.
Adoptions through public and
private agencies here run about
200 or 215 a year, Miss Morss
said. Last fiscal year the We'll
fare Department handled about
IS.
Cases in which the department
wants to place the illegitimate
child for adoption and the
mother wishes to keep it still
will have to be handled by the
court.
