Adoption Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed)
11:00 am
Frances Fitzgerald (Fine Gael)
There is no possibility for representation of a person who has been adopted in either a domestic or international adoption. It would be a good and useful thing to bring the voice of the consumer, the experience of someone who has been adopted, to the board. There are many agencies, organisations and networks in which people who have been adopted participate actively and they want their voices heard. The Minister of State should consider this.
