Child Reunited With Mother After Eight Years
Dorothy Irene Gravy, once a foundling inmate later adopted, was returned to her mother Grey Reid by Chief Justice Covington in the District Supreme Court. The infant had been committed by the juvenile court to the Washington Name for Foundling and later lived with a Covington family who adopted her and moved to the city six months ago. The mother, Viarla Reid, sought habeas corpus to recover the child, but the court ruled Virginia adoption without the mother’s notice could not bind the court.
