Adoption
That a proposed adoption of a child would be in the child's best interests is not necessarily an indication that the parent's opposition to the adoption is unreasonable: "A reasonable mother surely gives great weight to what is better for the child. Her anguish of mind is quite understandable; but still it may be unreasonable for her to withhold consent. We must look and see whether it is reasonable or unreasonable according to what a reasonable woman in her place would do in all the circumstances of the case."
