S. O. v. W. S. and P. S‪.‬

About five months prior to her sons birth, S.O. resolved that she would give her child up for adoption. Expecting to be hired for a job on the North Slope, S.O. felt that she would be unable to give the child the love and attention it would need. She also thought it important for a child to grow up in a two parent home, which she could not provide as she did not intend to continue her relationship with the childs natural father.
