    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, a new Clause 29(A) be inserted as follows:- October 16, 2007 PARLIAENTARY DEBATES 4505 29(A) Where a female employee has been matched with a child for official adoption or is placed with a child for official adoption, that employee is entitled to adoption leave. The same rights, duties and obligations to employee and employer pertaining to maternity leave will apply in the case of adoption leave. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the need for this new Clause is that we have already provided for maternity and paternity leave but we have not provided for adoption leave where the female employee has been officially matched with a child for official adoption. Most of those children are adopted just when they are born, so the need to take care of them is the same as if you have had a natural child-birth. There are very many cases of discord now that the adoption laws are much better. I beg to move."
