I move amendment No. 2:

In page 4, line 18, to delete "16" and substitute "18".

We should have taken amendment No. 2 with amendment No. 1 because it reiterates that the leave period granted to adoptive parents should be 18 weeks. In view of the fact that I am reconsidering whether the two weeks prior to placement should be granted, I will withdraw the amendment.
