    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT Clause 185 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (4) (c) by inserting the following new subparagraphs immediately after subparagraph (ii) — (iii) the adopting parent or parents are not Kenyan nationals but are biologically related to the child; (iv) were once Kenyan nationals but have lost their nationality by operation of the law of the host country to which the prospective parent or parents have a nationality. The reason is that we have many Kenyans living out of the country and who wish to adopt their own blood relatives in Kenya. However, it becomes difficult when we outlaw all international adoptions without taking into account such cases. We also have people who may be in unique situations like me, such that if I were to have a child and, God forbid, I die and my husband dies, his siblings should be in a position to adopt my children. They will be foreign nationals but would be better placed because that is actually their relative. So, that is the essence of this amendment."
