    "content": "bond. We should extend the same to those parents who are ready to adopt such kids. It is also important to note that in Kenya, many kids are abandoned day in day out. Therefore, it is important for those families that are able to cater for such kids to be given an enabling environment by way of legislation or otherwise to encouage those who are able to do that, to do it smoothly. Adoption is also a factor that encourages those families that can not get kids through the natural methods because of biological effects or otherwise. We have a dynamic society that believes that adoption is the best method of having kids. So, they should be looked at from a different angle to ensure and encourage those who may want to use that alternative route to use it. Once you a dopt a new kid and have them in the family, it means that you are two different human beings – in a natural birth, there is always blood attraction – from different backgrounds and blood lineage. Therefore, it is important that we give them enough time to bond. Indeed, Hon. Martha would have proposed to give six months to the two people. That would have beensufficient time for the mother, the father and the adopted kid to bond. I know many of the children orphanages are doing good work to try to give them a good nest where they can experince human warmth. There are others that are doing business using those innocent souls. Therefore, when we find a situation where different human beings are ready to adopt such kids, then, it should be the more reason why we should have positive laws that will encouage them to do that. By passing what the amendment is proposing, we will give these young ones a new lease of life. Once they have a new home, they will be able to grow in a normal family life that is envisaged in the the Bible. So, I stand to support and encourage the Hon. Member to push this period from three months to six months. I support."
