Little Fires Everywhere: Asking The Divisive Question Of What is the Best Interest Of A Child

By Abigail Morici, Rhodes College Class of 2021

June 3, 2020

Little Fires Everywhere (2020) started streaming on Hulu in March. Since then, the mini-series has garnered critical acclaim with a 78% critic approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. [1]The show, based on the popular 2017novel by Celeste Ng, explores the dynamics of Mia Warren (Kerry Washington) and Elena Richardson (Reese Witherspoon), two mothers trying to act for their children’s best interests. These two mothers diverge in what they think is best for their children, and a controversial adoption case, which soon takes center stage, highlights this increasing tension between the two mothers.

The case involves Elena’s friendLinda McCullough (Rosemarie DeWitt) and Mia’s co-worker Bebe Chow (Huang Lu). With Mia’s intervention, Bebe learns that the McCullough family is proceeding with the adoption of her one-year-old daughter, whom she left at a fire-station out of desperation. Bebe had been struggling financially and suffering from postpartum depression. After leaving her daughter, Bebe regretted doing so and had been searching for her ever since. By the time Bebe discovers her daughter’s whereabouts, she has seemingly regained control over her life. With Mia’s help and support, Bebe sues the McCulloughs for custody of her daughter. A media storm ensues as the arguments in court ramp up, accusing Bebe of being an unfit mother for abandoning her daughter and accusing Linda of being dismissive of her Chinese baby’s race and culture. Eventually, the case ends in the McCulloughs’ favor, granting them full custody over Bebe.

Overall, the adoption case in Little Fires Everywhere explores the theme of motherhood that is present throughout the eight-episodes, but the adoption case narrows in on the legal definition of mother, or even a parent—a question that was especially pertinent during the 90s, in which the show is set.After all, in the 90s, highly publicized adoption cases made waves in the nation—particularly the Baby Jessica (1991-1993) and Baby Richard (1991-1995) cases. These cases, involving adoptive parents and the biological parents, resonate with the case presented in Little Fires Everywhere, especially as they explore the question of what qualifies as being in the best interest of the child.

Baby Jessica was born on February 8, 1991, to an unmarried Cara Clausen in Iowa. Two days after the birth, she signed a release of custody and named Scott Seefeldt as the father, who soon signed his own release of custody. By the end of the month, a juvenile court hearing terminated their parental rights and awarded temporary custody to Michigan-residents Roberta and Jan DeBoer. Nine days later, Clausen filed a motion to revoke her release of custody, revealing that the father was Daniel Schmidt, not Seefeldt.[2]The Iowa court denied Clausen the revocation of her parental rights, by the end of 1991, but after genetic tests proved that Schmidt was the father, it recognized that Schmidt had not signed away his parental rights. Consequently, the court nullified the DeBoer’s adoption before it was finalized. [3]

Unwilling to give up Jessica without a fight, the DeBoers invoked the help of the media and discovered that Schmidt fathered two other children out of wedlock, neither of whom he supported. When the Iowa Supreme Court agreed to hear the case in January 1992, this fact was later pointed to as evidence that Schmidt, now married to Clausen, was an unfit parent. However, in April of that year, the Iowa Supreme Court upheld the lower court’s ruling, believing that “‘[a]lthough Dan's fitness as a parent was questionable, his rights held priority over Jessica’s’”. [3]

Still, the DeBoers did not quit in their battle for custody. That December, “the DeBoers filed a petition in the Washtenaw Circuit Court of Michigan, asking the court to assume jurisdiction under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA).”[2]Under this pretense, the judge assumed jurisdiction on behalf of the state of Michigan. In February 1993, he awarded custody to the DeBoers, believing that according to Jessica’s best interest, there was “much to lose and little to gain” in moving Jessica to Iowa.[3]

However, after the Schmidts appealed this judgment, in July 1993, Michigan’s highest court ruled that Michigan held no jurisdiction and granted Baby Jessica to the Schmidts.“It is now time for the adults to move beyond saying that their only concern is the welfare of the child,” the court wrote.Three days later, Jessica left the DeBoers and went with Cara and Dan Schmidt to Iowa. She was renamed Anna Jacqueline Schmidt.[4]

The case and the eventual decision divided the public, especially as they argued what the best interest of the child meant for Baby Jessica. Ad hoc Justice for Jessi groups organized a bus trip to D.C. to protest on the steps of the Supreme Court, while groups supporting the rights of biological parents delighted in the Schmidts’ victory. Even psychiatric professionals were divided. In an interview with People, Dr. Elissa Benedek, a professor of clinical psychiatry at the University of Michigan, stated, “‘This little girl is losing everything she is familiar with…Her parents, her room, many of her favorite toys and even her name. It is an absolute tragedy for Jessica.’” On the other hand, Joe Soil, a psychotherapist and director of the Council for Equal Rights in Adoption, which supports the rights of biological parents, maintained, “The impact of the separation of mother and child is tremendous and severe … [I]t leaves a mark down to one’s toes—one’s self-esteem is damaged, one’s ability to function in the world.” [5]

Meanwhile, in Chicago, a similar case was proceeding with Baby Richard. In March 1991, Daniella Janikova, a Czechoslovakian immigrant, gave birth to a boy. After deciding to place her baby up for adoption prior to his birth, she was in contact with the Warburtons, who were the future adoptive parents. She told them that she knew who the father was but intended to tell him the baby had died. The Warburtons acquiesced to this plan, and Janikova put that the father was unknown on the birth certificate.[6]A few days after the birth, Janikova executed a “Final and Irrevocable Consent to Adoption,” and the Warburtons filed a petition for adoption. Later that month, the Warburtons received custody of the baby.[2]

However, in May 1991, Otakar Kirchner the biological father, who was also a Czechoslovakian immigrant, discovered that his son had not died, and in June, he and his lawyer intervened in the adoption proceedings.[7]Eventually, in December, after Janikova and Kirchner married, the court found that Kirchner was the biological father. Later that month, the Warburtons filed an amended petition to adopt, maintaining that Kirchner was an unfit parent and that his consent for adoption was not required under Illinois law. In May 1992, with the argument of the best interest of Richard in mind, the court ruled that, Kirchner was an unfit parent, for he did not “demonstrate a reasonable degree of interest, concern or responsibility as to the welfare of a newborn child during the first 30 days after the birth.” [2] Kirchner’s parental rights were terminated, but he filed an appeal. [2] However, the appellate court agreed that “‘it would be contrary to the best interest of Richard to ‘switch’ parents at this stage of his life.’” [8]

After failing to attain custody once again in the appellate courts, Kirchner appealed to the Illinois Supreme Court, which overturned the previous rulings, invalidating the adoption and granting custody to the biological parents. According to Justice Heiple, “[Since] the father's parental interest was improperly terminated, there was no occasion [for the appellate court] to reach the factor of the child's best interest.” Further, he wrote, “If [the] best interests of the child were a sufficient qualification to determine child custody, anyone with superior income, intelligence, education, etc., might challenge and deprive the parents of their right to their own children.” [2]Just as in the case of Baby Jessica, a media storm ensued when the Kirchners took Richard home. [7]

Overall, with such attention to this case and to the case of Baby Jessica, the public remained divided on what role the best interest of a child should play in the decision of a legal parent. Is a child better off in an adoptive family with better financial means to raise the child in a stable environment—a family that the child has known since birth? Or is it best for a child to remain with its biological parents, even if their ability to raise the child in a stable environment is questionable? Does nurture or nature predominate? These are the same questions that Little Fires Everywhere draws its modern audience to ask, even as the final decision of the fictional case favors the adoptive parents over the biological mother, unlike the cases of Baby Jessica and Baby Richard. [9]

Speaking to this question of the best interest of the child, Kelson writes that “The best interest of the child should be the primary concern in determining custody.” However, the term best interest of the child provides too much room for subjectivity, especially as it “‘has the potential for misuse because the standard is based on vague or nonexistent criteria, opening the custody decision to social biases.’” This in turn means that often the “final placement of the child is often completed to satisfy the adult parties to the proceedings and not follow what is truly in the child's best interest.” With this in mind, Kelson argues that a uniform nation-wide definition of the best interest of the child is necessary for future adoption cases like the Baby Richard and Baby Jessica cases and by extension the case in Little Fires Everywhere.[2]Until then, the best interest of the child will likely continue to divide the public just as it does in the show. After all, what it means to be a parent is difficult to boil down to a single definition, legal or otherwise.

[9] Admittedly, the Baby Jessica and Baby Richard cases dealt with the biological father who had not voluntarily relinquished parental rights, which the McCulloughs argue Bebe Chow seemingly does when leaving her daughter at a fire station. See the Safe Haven Law. However, it is pertinent to point out that Bebe Chow admits that she soon searches for her baby after leaving her behind, possibly meaning that she could have fallen in the time-frame which allocates for revocation of parental rights.

Oliver scampers with his belt like a coward while Awesome comes to the aid of Ollafub in a way not to help Ollafub but to get more shots in on Edwards who assaulted his little brother Casey Alfonso some weeks back. Jake Awesome starts punching Edwards until he scampers away on his own avoiding Awesome’s ambush.

XPWEW Friday Night Pyro 8-14-20

XPWEW Friday Night Pyro Date: August 14th, 2020 Episode: 439 Channel: VICE TV @ 10PM EST

We are joined by our commentary team Kaitlyn Khaos and Nick Simmonds who inform us that tonight XPWEW Juniorweight Champion Jordan Oliver of THE SET will celebrate being champion for 1 full year tonight in the middle of the ring; ahead of his title defense this Sunday against Mr. Case Your Luck Romeo Roselli. Also, All Man has invited Jake Awesome to a dinner tonight "on the house" we have footage of that very event that we will air later in the show. Yes, they brawled at Scott Steiner's Shoney's restaurant in Georgia

- Golden Bryce enters with Alveno La Flare - XPWEW Tag Team Champion Kotto Brazil enters with his partner Myron Reed, Chrissy Rivera & Siaka Lexoni

M1: Golden Bryce (w/ Alveno La Flare) def. Kotto Brazil (w/ Myron Reed, Siaka Lexoni & Chrissy Rivera)

(Lola Starr already in the ring) - Lotus enters M2: Lotus def. Lola Starr in under a minute (Rosemary vows to "go away" if Lotus can banish the curse of her Sunday at Heatwave)

In ring segment: XPWEW Women's Champion: Priscilla Kelly speaks at lengths on potential rumors about her loyalty to XPWEW; Tessa Blanchard enters and calls Priscilla a weakling, Priscilla responds questioning Tessa's morals in a tongue and cheek way as to underhandedly mention how she left IMPACT. Enters Doxy Deity (without Thunder Rosa, who lost her ABA Women's Title last Saturday at The Summerfest). Doxy implies she's the only homegrown XPWEW women's talent, Tessa wants a payday and attention and Priscilla is only famous because her husband is Darby Allin. Then enters The Set's Siaka Lexoni who in tow with Chrissy Rivera calls her the underdog for the match at Heatwave. All 4 women stare off but Tessa comes out of this segment looking like a star.

1 on 1 M3: Champagne Clausen def. Dragon Kid

El Demonio pops a bottle of Champagne and pours it out off the stage to imply he's not afraid of Champagne Clausen when they meet one on one at Heatwave. Champagne screams "Death to Lucha Libre! I AM LUCHA LIBRE!"

Pre-recorded Segment: Jake Awesome pulls up to an empty Shoneys irl owned by Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner in Acworth, Georgia and him and All Man have a very cinematic brawl with food and restaurant furniture ahead of their match at Heatwave, ultimately ending with All Man running away before Awesome can truly get his hands on him. The filming of this brawl was very similar to the pre-taped matches like Stadium Stampede or Firefly Fun House Match from Wrestlemania 36

- Garrett Thompson enters with Ethan Bedlam - The Marauder Simon Gotch enters with Drama King and Mandy Leon

Tag Team Match M4: Simon Gotch & Drama King (w/ Mandy Leon) def. Garrett Thompson & Ethan Bedlam

*Huge win for The Vaudevillians and Garrett is f u r i o u s with Bedlam blemishing his record (Leonard McGraw beat GT last week 1 on 1 which snapped GT's 8 win streak is the significance)

(Audrey Carbine watching on a monitor) - Joe Gacy enters - GG enters

1 on 1 M5: Death Machine Joe Gacy def. GG (The match ends when Joe Gacy ignites a flaming table and powerbombs GG through it to send a message to Audrey ahead of their 'Ring of Fire' match going down This Sunday at Heatwave 2020

* Jordan Oliver's 1 year Juniorweight Title celebration party * Jordan boosts about his record and 1 year title reign, Siaka praises him, Myron and Kotto gift him some random junk, Romeo Roselli crashes the party and says savor the time because it ends Sunday then Romeo looks over and tells Ruckus "same goes for you" Ruckus bucks up to Romeo to which Leonard McGraw runs down and attacks Ruckus but the numbers of The Set outweigh McGraw yet again however Romeo helps and then The Set beat them down but ultimately Golden Bryce and Alveno La Flare come down and now the numbers aren't so much in The Set's favor but a stare down between Leonard, Romeo, Alveno & Bryce in the ring as they respectively stare down (at the stage) Ruckus, Jordan, Myron & Kotto (w/ Siaka Lexoni) as the show ends! We'll see you this sunday @ HEAWAVE
