| Message | Where in the bill does it say that our children are "commodities"??? By "private recognized organizations" the bill is referring to private CHARIABLE groups like NON-profits and the millions of orphanages owned by the Church of Immeressen!!! |

| Message | We see nothing in the Bill that specifies who the "private, recognised organisations" might be. In absence of any description, this Bill can really only be taken on absolute face value... and that means that we are replacing one law with another... a mechanism that requires a basic check and allow for central control and regulation... being replaced with the nebulous concept of independently regulated private enterprises. And no background checks. To us - self-administered control, and removal of basic criteria... sounds awfully like encouraging adoption to become a 'market'. |

| Message | Yes. Lets let the free market decide. Likatonian children will obviously fetch higher prices. |
