    "content": "The adoption process has taken almost four years. It is such a painful issue. As I said, it is a process that has been going on but other women have gone through the back door to make sure that the certificate or the notification of birth comes out with their names, so that they do not have to go through this process. Because I had declared that I was going to be a leader, I wanted to take the legal process. I did not care how long it was going to take. I wanted it to be clean and clear, so that we develop laws, change the laws and make sure that no other woman goes through what I have gone through. That is to make sure that no other woman goes through the pain of going through the courts and lawyers and pay a lot of money to adopt a child of her own. I am sure this will bring a huge difference in this country for all women out there, the women in Kenya who cannot have their own children. I want to talk to the women out there and tell them that there is hope. I want to tell women that you have elected women to this Assembly. You have elected women who know your pain. You have elected women who have gone through the route that you are going through out there. So, you are not alone. We are here to change laws and women of Kenya are going to have children and this process is going to be affordable to everybody. This is because when we have laws, we will make sure that the cost of this process is affordable to every other woman out there. I second, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you."
