| Message | "We support article 2 and loosely agree with article 3, but we must disagree with article 1. As long as they are able to give good care to children, we should not clog up our adoption system for no reason. We support stengthening the adoption regulation laws but we cannot support denying perfectly good parents children in need on the basis of whether or not their are married or their preferences." -Thérèse Moreau FNR Spokesperson for Health and Social Services |
