| Date | 20:09:21, July 28, 2005 CET | From | Conservative Party of Telamon | To | Debating the Adoption Bill |
| Message | A child is born to a mother and father, and they shall be raised by a mother and father. I don't agree with the singles part as well. Just heterosexual couples. |

| Message | Couples are more able to deal with having children, not to say that there aren't good single parents. Two jobs provide better income, there is more likely to be time for the children, and it is less likely that the child would be abused, though only slightly. |
| Date | 01:57:58, July 29, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Marxist Party | To | Debating the Adoption Bill |
| Message | I object to this bill because it acts as though two is a perfect number. Single parents can raise chilren just as well as couples. Also, why reject the ideas of non-monogamous relationships? |
