Decided October 19, 1971.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. Michael S. Bokar, of the Legal Aid Society of Mercer County, argued the cause for appellant.

Mr. Ken R. Springer, Deputy Attorney General, argued the cause for respondent Bureau of Children's Services (Mr. George F. Kugler, Jr., Attorney General, attorney).

Before Judges LEWIS, KOLOVSKY and HALPERN.

The opinion of the court was delivered by KOLOVSKY, J.A.D.

Plaintiff, a welfare recipient represented by an attorney designated by the Legal Aid Society of Mercer County, filed a complaint for the adoption of Gwendolyn, a 13-year-old child who had been in her custody for some 12 1/2 years.1 Because she was so represented, the clerk of the court waived payment of any filing fees.
