JUSTICE HOWERTON, concurring in part and dissenting in part: I agree with the majority that there is a cause of action for fraud, in this case. I must dissent, however, from the majority’s opinion that there is a cause of action for negligence in this case. I believe that there is no tort for adoption agency malpractice. Petrowsky v. Family Service of Decatur, Inc. (1987), 165 Ill. App. 3d 32, 518 N.E.2d 664. I further do not believe that there can be a cause of action for breach of contract.
