Illinois may end ‘planned abandonment

Illinois may end ‘planned abandonment

When Dan Hoy was just six months old, he was taken from his biological parents by the state. He was lethargic and starving to death, and he had to be fed with an eye dropper each hour to keep him alive.

Then, at the age of two, Dan was adopted by Toni and Jim Hoy of Ingleside, which is north of Chicago. For Dan, it was a blessing or a stroke of luck because he would soon need his new family’s tenacity in the fight to keep him from becoming lost in the mental health system as a ward of the state.
