Abstract
Tibbetts has sued Crossroads Inc. for failing to supply him with a child despite the fact that he successfully applied for adoption. The contract engaged by the two parties is legal and binding. The two parties are bounded by the Minnesota adoption statute and are supposed to apply the public policy to ensure that all are satisfied while transacting. While addressing the case, the court observes good faith to protect the two parties. It does not take sides but rather oversee to ensure that Crossroads Inc does not violate the Minnesota law, and Tibbett is supplied with the child. According to the public policy, the welfare of the child to be adopted is the key factor that determines the transaction. The statute governing the process puts the interest of the children first. No matter how long it takes for the right match to be found, the applicant has to wait. This ensures that every adopted child falls into safe hands and lives a comfortable life in their new homes.
The case revolves around a private contract engaged between Tibbetts and an adoption agency called Crossroads Inc. According to the law which governs Crossroads Inc, the agency is supposed to examine the applicant’s application, personal life, history and adoption plans before issuing them a child. The agency should ensure that the applicant is a suitable person to adopt the child. As such, the applicant is obligated by the law and particularly the Minnesota adoption statue to wait until the agency finds a child.

In the case, Tibbetts sues Crossroads Inc. for failing to supply him with the child. According to the public policy, it is unlawful to engage in activities which or rather sign any contract which violates the general good of the society. In this case, even though Tibbetts is legally supposed to be supplied by a child, the transaction has to consider the welfare of the child and ensure that he or she is sent to a good home and in safe hands(Twomey, Jennings & Greene, 2016). While addressing this case, the court will consider unconscionability to ensure that Tibbetts is supplied with a child and Crossroads Inc complies with the Minnesota adoption policy while executing this agreement.
This contract is legal and enforceable since there are clear clauses which were agreed upon by the parties involved before signing it. Evidently, the agreement will eventually be met since it is binding. Crossroads Inc has not violated any law and apparently is on the process of looking for a child and supplying him or her to Tibbetts (Twomey, Jennings & Greene, 2016). On the other hand, Tibbetts is supposed to be patient and wait for the agency to look for a child and supply him or her. Every procedure is following a legal process, and with time the applicant will be provided with the child.
