Description

This is an appeal from a judgment of the circuit court of Cook County denying a petition for habeas corpus filed by the petitioner,
Paul Peter Slawek, who seeks to obtain the custody of a child from the adoptive parents, Larry and Eleanor Moreland, respondents
herein. The child was born out of wedlock and placed for adoption through the Covenant Children's Home, a licensed adoption
agency, also a respondent, after the natural mother validly consented to the adoption. Slawek's petition alleged, inter alia, that he was the father of the child and the adoption agency knew this fact but notwithstanding
this knowledge the adoption was finalized without notice to him or his consent because the Illinois Adoption Act precludes
the father of an illegitimate child from asserting any right to the child in such proceedings. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1969, ch.
4, par. 9.1-1E, and ch. 4, par. 9.1-8.) He contended that these statutory provisions were unconstitutional for they denied
him equal protection of the law and therefore the adoption of his son was invalid. He prayed that he be awarded the custody
of the child.
