Several Senators, including Senators Henry and Glynn, mentioned adoption. Many Irish couples seek to adopt and find it extremely difficult to locate a child for adoption. In the majority of cases, a child must be found in another jurisdiction. One faces an international complication, the movement of a child from one jurisdiction to another and an assessment procedure, which is required under our adoption legislation. One often hears heartbreaking stories and accounts of what happens in other countries in the pursuit of a child, yet in Ireland a great number of children are available for fostering. In our history, fostering was the preferred method of caring for children under the old Brehon Law. It is not something which is new to Ireland. That is one of the reasons I raised the question, which Senator Henry mentioned, in the adoption review of looking at the position of long-term foster care and whether it can lead on to adoption in certain circumstances. I am not prescribing it but it is an issue at which we have to look.
