The Minister said this issue may be addressed in the adoption (information and tracing) Bill. It is a question of the child's rights as opposed to entering into agreements that may not necessarily put the child in a very powerful position. We should tease this out with the Minister. I am not sure whether it can be done through the Bill before us. Perhaps it is a matter for the adoption (information and tracing) Bill.
