    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Bill by Hon. Martha Wangari on child adoption. With the moratorium by the Government on international adoption, we are about to witness more local adoptions. As a matter of fact, the Government should offer incentives to the parents who are willing to adopt children and debunk the perception that adoption can only happen where the parents are not able to sire children. Even parents who have children should be encouraged to adopt a child. Every child must grow in a family set-up in order to do away with the social problems that we have like street children, the problem of drug abuse and the problem of early sex. These social problems can be traced to lack of parental care. Therefore, if we encourage adoption where each child grows in a family set-up, we will do away with such social problems that we have in our society. Every child is equal, whether biological or adopted. Therefore, every child requires parental care. This Bill will help all children to grow up with parental care. If any child who is six months can be adopted, such a child requires parental care and the one-month maternity leave will give an opportunity to the mother who has adopted the child to bond with him. Paternity leave is also encouraged, because the adopting father should also bond with the child and show fatherly love to the child. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support. Thank you."
