| Message | I do not think that a previous history of child abuse is enough of a sieve to fetter out unsuited parents for adopted children. Perhaps if more qualifiers were added onto your plan, then the NCL would be willing to support it. |
| Date | 19:50:07, August 02, 2007 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Adoption Deregulation Act |
| Message | It is the government's responsibility to make sure children are placed into the best possible environment. |

| Message | Then should not the government reguate all births? Adoptions comprise a very small fraction of children. |
| Date | 02:00:21, August 05, 2007 CET | From | Independent Republican Party | To | Debating the Adoption Deregulation Act |
| Message | What's wrong with trying to find the best possible home for adopted children? |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
