Excerpt from Problems and Procedures in AdoptionIt was intended not to evaluate the success or failure of individual adoptions insofar as the children adopted or the persons adopting them were concerned but to Show the extent to which the safeguards for their protection set up by legislation or through administration had been effective. Another aim was to obtain factual material to Show who the children were who were being adopted, how they found their way into the homes of those petitioning for their adeption, and what differences there were in standards, practices, and volume in the several States in which the study was conducted.Although there has been general acceptance of the fact that adop tions of children born out of wedlock are frequent, no body of material was available showing the relationship between illegitimacy and adoption in those States having a social program for the unmarried mother and those without it. Former studies had for the most part been confined to a single city or county with no comparable data from other areas.It was expected that the study not only would provide information on the administration of existing laws but would furnish a basis for evaluating these laws and for determining which aspects of the legis lation now in operation could safely be recommended to other States contemplating changes in their adoption laws.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
