Adoption Of Eddy Children Is Upheld
Iowa Supreme Court unanimously reversed a previous ruling, affirming that the American Home Funding Association of Ottumwa had the right to place five Eddy children for adoption. The case traces to 1946 when Cass county ordered eleven Eddy children removed from Mr. and Mrs. Donald Eddy of Omaha, Nebraska amid welfare concerns. The court returned four other children to Lutheran Welfare Society custody and allowed three to remain in other placements. The latest decision grants formal adoption to the five Ottumwa placements, while returning the remaining children to their parents or guardians as previously ordered. Mrs. Eddy expressed disappointment and indicated possible legal consultation.
