Ms Victoria Reid:

I thank the Deputy for her questions. I agree with a register of information for the child and believe all children should have that right. While I do not know if I agree with the information being on the birth certificate or on the back of it, I definitely agree that children should have the right to access that information. It is a little different for us as a family because we are very open. Sophie knows how she got here. She knows that I gave her a safe place to grow for nine months. I know that Sean and Harry, who are Emma's twin boys, will know the same when they are old enough to understand it. I know she will have that conversation with them and will explain that our sister, Laura, gave them a place to grow for that time. However, not all cases are like that. Not all cases involve people that are so close or people within families so in that context, children should have the right to that information.
