The court found that adoption was in the best interests of the two infants, that the mother had abandoned and neglected them and unreasonably withheld consent, and that in all the circumstances her consent ought to be dispensed with; the court nevertheless made procedural directions including appointing the Official Solicitor to investigate siblings' human rights and adjourned the originating summonses for further steps rather than making final adoption orders immediately.
