| Alan McDonald | Family Coalition Party | Me opinion on this is simple. A person who gives up a child for adoption
has a right to privacy. Myself nor any other person in the world can
understand the reasoning for giving a child and then choosing to remain
anonymous to the child.
Time changes all. People change their minds. A person who wants to find their natural parent should be given opportunity to do so; without delay. If the natural parent chooses to and agrees to identify themselves, then so be it. If the natural parent chooses to maintain their anouminity then that choice must be respected. I would support legislation that allowed past, present, and future seekers of natural parents to do so in a timely fashion and maintains the right to choice of the natural parent. |
