    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Hon. Sankok did not listen to me. Sometimes, he hardly listens. I said, “if a child was to choose…” I know Hon. Sankok has challenges with his education. I do not wish to go there because he is my friend and brother. We have talked about the economic hardships in this country and in other countries. Children can be born in families that may not take care of them. We have children who are abandoned and taken to children’s homes. If a good foreigner would wish to adopt such children, as long as regulations are put in place, why would you deny such children to be in good hands, as the case may be in this Bill? This is a good Bill but we should bring some amendments to it. The other issue is that of children with disabilities. We should have a clear plan for them from the time of birth, education and up to when they get to 18 years. Where do such children go when they become of age because they may not be adopted? The Government must invest in these children. The Bill also suggests to put in place welfare facilities all over the country. We should narrow this down to every constituency having a welfare home to take care of these children. Otherwise, this is a good Bill and I will be bringing amendments to it. I support."
