Re the adoption case involving a Dorchester, MA couple mentioned yesterday in my posting: today's (7/25/85) Boston Glob said that the biological mother claims that her relatives didn't reject her son, she has wanted for some years to have him adopted by relatives, her California sister has sought adoption for years but had deferred to relatives in the northeast, the state only had partial custody of the child, & that the foster couple's contradicting claims are false. The state agency has corroborated the fact that the mother has retained parental rights (thus the child's not free for adoption) and that she has sought to place the boy with relatives. Ron Rizzo
