In an action brought pursuant to R.S. 9:2-9 , the Superior Court, after an investigation shall have been made by the chief probation
officer of the county in which the child may reside, concerning the reputation, character
and ability of the plaintiff, or such other person as the court may direct, to properly
care for such child, shall make an order or judgment committing the child to the care
and custody of such person, who will accept the same, as the court shall for that
