Message | Private adoption agencies already screen for this. This would be a redundant and frankly unenforceable law. |

Message | This law is not unenforceable. Most nations in the world operate with this or tougher laws, and their is absolutely no reason we cant. All it takes is for one adoption agency to lapse on one check for this law not to be redundant. While we accept that adoption agencies are largely responsible businesses, we are talking about the future of our most disadvantaged children, and some form of regulation is needed to ensure the agencies do their jobs properly. |

Message | You are talking about human rights abuses, which is of course already against our laws. No agency is flawless, which is why the government prosecutes violations instead of punishing agencies with laws like this before the agency even does anything wrong. Making perfection the law does not make it reality. |

Message | I dont see anything in our legislation which says we have any control, or ability to prosecute, adoption agencies over who they place children with. |
