Bill: Adoption Regulation
Details
Submitted by[?]: Hobrazian Peoples Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2503
Description[?]:
| We believe that there should be some kind of control with adoptions. We propose that there will be an intesive check up by the government before adoption is allowed and after adoption has taken place to protect the children and also to secure the methods in choosing adoption couples and also in keeping the adoption information from the public. Every child should have the right to a father and a mother. We don't believe in adoption for homosexual couples. We also don't believe in singles adopting. There's a reason why it takes both a man and a woman to create a baby. |
