A University of Waterloo sociologist has published a new book which chal- lenges current legal View: and policies governing adoption. Dr. 11. David Kirk's book Adoptive Kinship deals with both the private and public aspects of adop- tion. While the author agrees legal adoption is both necessary" and dealt- able. he sees adoption luv also much "in need of reform." This is Kirk's second book dealing with this subject. An earlier book, published in 1964, has become recog- nized as a classic in its field. It was based on studies of more than 2,000 Canadian and American families. Called Shared Fate, that book made the point that adoptive families experience spe- cial tensions not usually found in non- adoptive families. It also showed these tensions could be reduced by a form of mutual aid Kirk called "shared fate." As long as it was assumed adoption is numerically negligible, the Shared Fate thesis might concern a few families or professionals. But now the author shows this is a misconception. Adoptive Kin- ship claims at least one in five persons in North America is intimately linked to adoption - " adoptees, birthparents, adoptive parents, siblings. spouses, grandparents and offspring. With this new perspective on the numbers of people involved, Adoptive Kinship returns to the theme of tensions in adoptive family relations. The book sets out to trace the social sources of these tensions. What Adoptive Kinship shows is that the tensions appear to stem from " muddle of contradictions" in the laws of adoption, of marriage, of incest prohibition, and of inheritance, as well as the way these laws are adminis- "We have once and for all laid bare the muddle and contradictions well- meaning people have built into the Author explodes myths in probe of adoption " UNIVERSITY AVE.

He has concern over the fact that in many jurisdictions on the North Ameri- can continent (where adoption is either a state or a provincial matter) adopted persons are not able freely to trace their ancestry even after they have become “There is a good deal of inconsis- tency," he states. "Not only do state and provincial laws differ, there are also inconsistencies within the Judicial sys- tem. One judge will decideone way, and another will decide differently." Kirk also notes inconsistencies with respect to marriage laws and incest prohibitions. He notes that in some jurisdictions a father can marry an In some instances, Dr. Kirk notes. there can be strong medical reasons why an adoptee would wish to discover the identity of natural parents. He cites the instance of a leukemia victim who wanted to contact persons with close blood ties as possible bone marrow donors. In spite of the pressing circum- stances. his request was refused. There are instances of birthparents with specific health problems which came to light only after they had relinquished children for adoption. Such persons have also been prevented from passing vital Information on to " adoptee who might have inherited the same weaknesses. Kirk contrasts the situation in North America with that in Great Britain where any adoptee can learn the identity of the birthparents on reaching the age of majority. Legal inconsistencies are also outlined in Adoptive Kinship with respect to inheritance laws. Adoptees can inherit from adoptive parents who die without wills. in the same way as any person can inherit from parents. But the adoptee's situation is less clear with respect to grandparents, uncles and aunts, or other relatives by adoption. ordlfel'il?g)Ua.

Together with Prof. Murray Fraser, Q.C., of the Faculty of Law, University of Victoria, Dr. Kirk is planning a conference on adoption law reform, hopefully to take place in lm. dren. ee Dr. Kirk suspects adop- tion law reform will probably not come about out of humanitarian concerns. He believes it has a better chance of being enacted when the legal and social work professions become fully aware of the current contradictions. Reform is required. the UW so- ciologist says. because the framers of existing legislation "did not seem to realize adoptive kinship ls so complex and cannot just be equated with the rights and duties of kin as laid down in family law generally." Dr. Kirk says the book does not attempt to spell out details with respect to law reform. Rather, it suggests directions in which law reform needs to move. He feels the publication of Adoptive Kinship is especially timely, partly because it explains the rise in recent years of vocal groups and associations of adopted adults calling for changes in their civil rights. Their concern is to obtain the right to trace their origins, a right given to all other citizens, but here almost universally withheld from adop- A further reason why he feels the book is timely has to do with the number of step-parent adoptions, resulting from the steady increase in divorce and remarriage, with adoption meant to "firm up" the new “reconstituted fami- lies," especially with very young chil- “Thu the relationship between adopt- ed and natural children and their parents is very different," he says, “and these differences appear related to the social tensions that typically exist in adoptive families." adopted daughter (for enmple after the death ot the wile). or a brother can many artyrdoeed sister. o MAZDA
