I wish to remark on how Ms Gamble said that what mattered to children was "not the number or gender of their parents but the quality of their parental attachments". I agree. We have many different family dynamics in our modern society. I liked her comment.

I wish to ask about the pre-birth and post-birth models, which arose in our discussions last week. Some of this discussion has been covered. Ms Gamble spoke about safeguards being put in place. She would agree that a pre-birth model is best and in the best interests of children. I am picking that up from some of her answers, but she might speak on it further.
