I have a final closing word. We have to find a middle ground. I agree with Senator van Turnhout that an adoption should be recognised on a birth certificate but we should also have directional information on the reverse side of the certificate if, for some reason we do not know about, that was the first time a person found out he or she was adopted. I am grateful to the Acting Chairman for the opportunity to speak and I am delighted to see the Bill pass today.
