Wisconsin Judge Orders Return of Adopted Child

Columbia County Judge Elton J. Morrison ruled that the Wisconsin Welfare Department overstepped its authority by denying Mrs. Dorothy Tschudy the adoption of 2 year old Jeffrey. He approved her petition to return the child to the Monroe widow, noting the department acted beyond its powers in enforcing a policy requiring both a father and mother in adoptions after Tschudy’s husband died in 1953. The ruling sets aside the department’s August seizure of the child.
