operation with the Wicomico
County Welfare Board placed
him nine months ago with the
Montgomerys for adoption.
THE Wicomico County Cir
cult Court upheld the action,
relying on the welfare depart
ment's Judgment as to where
the child should be placed.
The Montgomery County well
fare board contended that the
Crumps. as foster parents
under the welfare department
program, were not eligible to
adopt the child and realized
that he would some day be
taken from them. The board
said no formal application for
adoption was filed by the
Crumps until the child was
taken although they had ex-
pressed oral wishes to adopt
him.
Second Home Found
The Montgo merys. who
earlier had adopted a child
through the welfare depart
ment. had waited two years for
another. Welfare officials testi-
ned that Johnny fitted well
into their home. both by
temperament and intelligence.
He has lived with them The
past nine months. since he was
10 months old.
Attorneys for the Monteom-
erys and the two county well
fare boards argued that to re-
move him now would be against
the child's best interests and
would change the rules and
regulations which are the law
OF the welfare department"
Attorney Hamilton P. Fox
contended the Crumps were
denied their day in court" by
the welfare department in try
ing to adopt the child. He also
argued that Wicomico Circuit
Court did not exercise indie
pendent judgement as to which
home would be best for the
child, accepting instead the
Recommendation of the welfare
board. Y
He said If the high court
doesn't reverse the decision 1t
will be endorsing this proce-
dure Of taking q child from q
suitable, proper home against
the best interests Of the child"
Other Cases Studied
The appeal was the first ar
gued as the high court opened
its 1959-60 term. It took the
case under advisement along
with three others which:
/. The Aetna Casualty &
Surety Co. sought reversal Of a
