Born To Lose: The Illinois "Baby Richard" Case--How Examining His Father's Pre-Birth Conduct Might Have Led To A Different Ending For Richard, Gerald W. Huston

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This casenote examines the factual and legal circumstances surrounding the controversial "Baby Richard" case--a case in which the courts applied a "best interests" test, and in so doing, removed a child from the home of his adoptive parents to return the child to his birth parents. By drawing comparisons to practices in other jurisdictions, the author concludes that a thorough examination of the birth father's pre-birth conduct likely would have changed the court's decision.
