Yes, the Deputy speaks with real compassion and concern about the inability to have a child. She started off saying that. I do not know if she knows any people who have not known their genetic parents. Does she equally have compassion for adoptees who have searched for their genetic parents and have gone through complex processes to try to integrate those people into their identities and lives? The Deputy looks confused. Does she understand my question?
