Family law session looks at
new court, adoption models
By SEAN HANLON
Several dozen denizens of the
Mason County courts assembled
at the county fairgrounds on May
7 for a symposium on dependency
and family law.
The all-day affair was spon-
sored by the Mason County Juve-
nile Court, the Washington De-
partment of Children and Family
Services and the Mason County
Bar Association. The participants
talked about new laws governing
adoption and a new approach for
families who find themselves in
court.
During the afternoon session,
Municipal Court Judge Carrene
Wood was joined on a panel by
Commissioners Rich Adamson
and Pat Morgan. Commissioners
are appointed to perform some of
the duties of a judge.
,qrE ARE CHANGING," Mor-
gan said of the domestic courts.
"The entire area of family law is
changing from an adversarial
model to a concilatory model."
In her view that means that at-
torneys need to work more closely
with people from other profes-
sions concerned with issues im-
portant to families, she said. "The
lawyers need to interact more
with the social scientists, the psy-
chologists and the anthropolo-
gists," she said.
Adamson fielded a question
from the gathering about Chil-
dren and Family Services. "I
think social workers have a split
role - as opposed to a split per-
sonality - and I think that is an
inherent contradiction," he said.
Adamson explained that in
smaller communities a casework-
er must sometimes be both a
therapist and an investigator. "A
social worker, in my view, has a
more theraputic relationship with
the parents in that they are try-
ing to get them into services," he
said.
BUT SOMETIMES the courts

odds. The sensitive issue of adop-
tion was in the spotlight in 1997

track. Assistant Attorney General PARTICIPATING IN A ROLE-PLAYING game are Donna
Maureen Bartlett said the law ex-
pedites the termination of paren-
tal rights when the parents are
convicted of murder or sexual
abuse.
"It encourages states to work
on reducing geographic barriers,"
she said.
The new law also increases the
rights of foster parents or rela-
tives who have been given custo-
dy of a child. "It does allow them
to share very important informa-
tion about the child's day-to-day
activities as well as long-term ac-
tivities," Bartlett said.
Bartlett said that 2,500 chil-
dren are under guardianship in
Washington. She said the Wash-
ington Legislature has adopted
Price and Rob Johnson. They joined a few dozen other
people who participated in a symposium on family
law held Friday at the Mason County Fairgrounds.
laws that bring the state in line
with the spirit of the federal legis-
lation by making it possible for a
child to be adopted in the space of
a single year.
'EtIS IS A new piece of legis-
lation that sets out an admirable
goal and an important goal," she
said.
Dee Wilson, regional adminis-
trator of the state's DCFS, said
Washington has had 10 deaths
related to child abuse in this dec-
ade. He said Washington has a
relatively good record in this re-
gard, but that all states have

ty.
The problems of these tmlilie.s
weigh most heavily on children
under the age of 3. "Their long-.
term potential is being perma-
nently impaired," he said.
Wilson said that substance
abuse isn't an epidemic because
epidemics go away while drug ad
diction and alcoholism seem to be
a permanent part of our society.
"These phenomena are here to
stay as far as we know unless we
change our social and economic
system in a way that doesn't seem
proper," he said.
