    "content": "I believe the Bill will help us to appreciate some of those small things. Adoption should not only be tied to the inability to biologically give birth to children. It should be because God has given you slightly more that you can share with the less fortunate in society. That is the practice all over the world. I had an opportunity of going to Denmark. When we were at a function in the hotel we were staying, a white couple came in with a disabled African child. That was the epitome of what love should be. They had adopted a disabled child from Africa, yet as a neighbour, I have no time for the disabled children. We look at them as if they are a curse to us. We look at them as if they are lesser human beings. But a person comes all the way from America to adopt a disabled child: a nine year old child not able to walk and speak but they proudlycarry the child wherever they go. They were holidaying in Denmark. How I wish we would copy and paste some of those good practices. We do not have to wait until nature has said no to get children. We can also get one of our own and adopt another needy child or adopt from the society so that we can make the world a better place to live in. Mother Theresa says that if all of us can clean the front of our houses, the world would be a very clean environment to live in. We cannot keep whining and saying that we have failed as a country and the Government has failed, yet we are not doing anything about it. I humbly ask the good Lord to give us the spirit of humility and the spirit of love so that we can be touched and be a blessing to the needy child out there who deserves a parent or somebody to help."
