Ms Rachel Rowley-Smith:

I cannot think of anything. We covered most things but something has just cropped up for me. During the process of being adopted and all that malarkey my surrogate mother’s husband was referred to as my stepdad. When I found out he was referred to as that by the courts I found it hard to understand why he was referred to as my stepdad and wondered if he had anything to say on it. I would never have referred to him as my stepdad. All parties who are potentially involved can be affected, even if it be half-siblings, but I do not think stepdad was the right word. That is more of an anecdotal comment in case that ever comes up. From the reactions of Ms Baldwin and Ms Roberts, I guess this is something they have not come across. I was stunned when I heard about it. It is an anecdotal comment to point out that I did not see him in that role.
