Several of you attended an Indiana Supreme Court argument at Purdue last fall. In the case, Kramer v. Catholic Charities, the adoptive parents of a baby girl sued the adoption agency for negligence when they learned that that biological father had stepped forward to claim the child. The adoptive parents' claim was based on their allegation that the agency breached a duty to them by failing to check the putative father registry or by failing to warn the parents that the agency had not done so.
The Supreme Court, while sympathetic to the adoptive parents' anguish, was not sympathetic to their legal claims.

Feel free to comment--but all comments will be reviewed by me before they get posted. I will not post anything scurrilous about Ivy Tech students, faculty, or staff, or about members of the local community. Truth is not a defense. This just isn't going to be that kind of blog.
