    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we must oppose that proposed amendment. A child is a child whether it is adopted or of one's blood. Once you have adopted children, you have for all purposes to tell your own children that the adopted children are their brothers and sisters. It does not matter whether that child is a mzungu or of a different tribe from yours as one hon. Member has put it. Once you go through the Adoption Act, that child is declared to be your own child legally. Our laws do not distinguish between adopted and blood children. We must, therefore, oppose that proposed amendment. If we do not do so, then we shall be sending the wrong message to Kenyans. We shall be telling them that if they adopt children, for some purposes, they may not be their children."
