Judge criticised ‘system failure’ of adoption which caused upset to mother

judge has criticised the “system failure” that led to an eleventh-hour adoption application and caused stress and upset to a teenager’s birth mother.said it was with a “considerable degree of reluctance” that he granted approval for the “last minute” adoption of a 17-year-old boy by his foster parents who have cared for him for almost all of his life.

Unless the court shows its disapproval of the repeated pattern of late applications, the CFA “will consider that no application is refused” if the child wants the adoption, he said. In her affidavit, the mother said she is “prepared to accept the wishes of [HER SON] if he desires to be adopted”. She did not feel the boy would want to come back into her life and wanted what was best for him, the judge noted.

The CFA sought to rely on the lack of access as grounds to support proof of abandonment, in the legal sense, by the birth mother.to promote and support the birth mother” with her difficult relationship with the social workers and her personal challenges.
