NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over an adoption.
FACTS: Olga (P) was an unmarried 32-year-old who lived in Colombia, South America. She
got pregnant by a married Colombian and decided to come to New York to have the child to
spare her family the shame of her conduct. Four days after the birth of the child, P placed
it up for adoption and 10 days later a surrender document was signed and the child was
placed for adoption. Five days later P changed her mind and requested that the child be
returned to her. P was unsuccessful and then sued in habeas corpus to have the child
returned. The court concluded that the mother should have the child returned. This appeal
ensued.
