I accept what was said. I look forward to seeing the adoption (information and tracing) Bill. Generally, what we have been discussing arises where both people involved in any arrangement are adults. This is substantially about circumstances involving a child. In circumstances in which an adoptive parent, or, legally speaking, a parent, prevents a child who wants to visit a grandparent or brother from doing so, what recourse does the child have? As far as I can see, there is none.
