What is the impact of the Court of Appeal's decision on adoption agencies in the context of a family law case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Michael J. v. Los Angeles County Dept. of Adoptions, 201 Cal.App.3d 859, 247 Cal.Rptr. 504 (Cal. App. 1988):

10 Commenting on the breadth of its decision, the court also stated, "In no way do we imply that adoption agencies are guarantors of their placements.... Our decision should not be viewed as altering traditional family relationships and responsibilities, nor should it be read as shifting part of the burden of parenting to society. However, just as couples must weigh the risks of becoming natural parents, taking into consideration a host of factors, so too should adoptive parents be allowed to make their decision in an intelligent manner." (Burr v. Board of County Commissioners of Stark County (1986) 23 Ohio St.3d 69, 491 N.E.2d 1101, 1109.)
