Adoption Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed)
1:00 pm
Barry Andrews (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)
I did not address that issue. Senator Healy Eames pointed out that some inter-country adoptions arise from the abandonment of a child and obviously there is no opportunity in those circumstances for the natural mother of the child to give an opinion. In inter-country adoptions, a mother will be counselled on all these issues, such as where the child will be placed for adoption. What was the previous point made by Senator Healy Eames?
