County Seeks to Post Adoption Notices on Internet
- Share via
LOS ANGELES — The county Board of Supervisors agreed Tuesday to ask a judge whether the county can post notices on the Internet to notify parents that their abandoned children are being put up for adoption.
The supervisors will ask Mike Nash, presiding judge of Dependency Court, for permission to post the notices on the Department of Children and Family Services’ Web site.
Currently, the county puts such notices in legal newspapers that circulate mainly in the downtown Civic Center area. Supervisor Yvonne Brathwaite Burke said such publications may not reach parents who might be encouraged to reunite with their children.
The board awarded a $70,000 contract to the Daily Commerce newspaper for running the notices for the next three years, but also sought to get proposals from other community newspapers to see if those publications could reach more readers.
