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 and parents find themselves at odds. The sensitive issue of adop- tion was in the spotlight in 1997 when President Bill Clinton signed into law a measure that ........ :: puts some adoptions on the fast ................ :::: ........ ........ 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 "multi-problem families" afflicted by addiction, violence and paver .... 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. ry Gh'gl" " t starts when school's out: Zacha 1 lone, Ina Chol to ge c-00ngo00-a-ctic at scholarships from Shelton Kiwanis brarles this summer seAoPalrI°f:el:°nanHdgh2:h::; :smcbie;ehi:nSeS:7oTy:l:s:h: HHerioai&ber:/n:heaS3HS2 Kneelandandreferee'v°lunteeringatthepark play-structure Ghiglione, have been awarded ball and soccer, assembly coordi- grade-point average, project, summer youth soccer and sky's no limit at all for in the Timberland lal Library system when the 1999 summer Program, "Galactic Read- Across the Milky Stardates for the pro- June 11 to September 4, first day of each local summer vacation actual liftoff at each of the Timberland librar- Yng space explorers can sign topic lunch 00oon Friday Economic Development of Mason County will Ostrum, executive di- of The 1000 Friends of as speaker at its meeting tomorrow. will speak "from the of a highly effective proponent," spokesperson.
