Dr. Thomas Finegan:

It is not a question of not liking families; it is a question of vindicating the child's best interests. As I said earlier, there are two parts to this general scheme. One part purports to deal with current family arrangements and increase the rights of children in those families. That is generally done very well. The other part is to provide for the creation of families. That is different. The child's best interests are engaged in a different manner in those circumstances, referring to rights such as to two parents, to know the identity of genetic parents and so forth. One cannot conflate the issues and decide the latter issue one way and then transpose that into the former issue and say everything is simple.
