    "content": "So, one of the most difficult journeys one can make is to choose a child from a different culture, perspective and history. This requires time, energy and investment from both the foster homes and the persons who are interested in taking up a child. It makes a lot of sense for a new parent to be given a chance to learn more about the child she intends to adopt so that she can understand him. This will offer an opportunity for developing the means to adopt themselves to the needs of that child. It will also allow that child to become part of that family if it has other children as well. I think the idea that an adopting parent should be given a chance to learn more and bond with that child is welcome. Three months may be the minimum. I suggest a longer period to ensure that the adoption exercise eventually succeeds and becomes a more permanent relationship for the benefit of both the child and the adopting parents. I support the Member’s proposition to extend that period, in order to give opportunity for the adoption arrangement to be successful for the foster parents and the child. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
