The Adoption Bill 2009 was published in January 2009 and completed all stages in the Seanad by May 2009. Second Stage was commenced in Dáil Éireann on 18 November 2009 and completed on 21 January 2010. Committee Stage is scheduled to commence on 17 February 2010 and it is hoped that the Bill will complete its passage through both Houses shortly thereafter.
