DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Children of Illegitimate Birth and Measures for Their Protection Support is sometimes obtained without court action through the efforts of social agencies or otherwise. However, studies have shown that the father's responsibility for the support of his child is assumed in only a small proportion of the cases coming to the attention of social agencies, and usually only to a limited extent. That so many children born out of wedlock are deprived of support from their fathers has serious implications in regard to chance for survival, health, and opportunities for normal childhood. For three cities the percentages of cases of children under 2 years of age known to social agencies (including maternity homes and hospitals) in which the father had made any contribution to the support of the child, were: Boston, 38 per cent; Milwaukee, 36 per cent; and Philadelphia, 40 per cent.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Children of Illegitimate Birth Whose Mothers Have Kept Their Custody It is difficult to follow the records of any considerable number of children who have been separated from their mothers in early in fancy, but studies of infant mortality rates tell the tragic story of the uneven chance for life itself that babies born out of wedlock have in contrast with those born in wedlock. A number of instances are found of suitable placements in foster homes, where the child's inter ests have been protected. Instances are found, too, of unsuitable placements that have worked much injury to helpless children. Adoption laws in most States fail to safeguard even those children who are accepted by foster parents with full legal responsibility.1 It has been possible to obtain records of children whose custody has been retained by their mothers, because certain institutions and agencies that advocate the plan of keeping children of illegitimate birth with their mothers and that have insisted on it in many cases, have kept in touch with the children thus provided for and have been able to supply information as to its results. Study of the origin of institutions and agencies rendering service to the unmarried mother reveals reasons for the development of the two distinct types of policies. Practically all except those of recent origin were established with one of two motives: The spiritual recla mation of women who were immoral or the protection of women who sought to conceal their maternity. Many of the latter type were commercial institutions operated for profit. That the child may be a factor in holding the mother to the path Of rectitude is Obvious.
