| Message | Could you elaborate your reasoning to include article 2? With our current legislation ( Adoption is regulated by the government. Applicants can adopt after a routine check-up.) would checking to see if they have a history of child abuse not be included in the routine check-up? What you propose is, without a doubt, acceptable and makes sense. I just think the way it currently stands, we can decide the rules of adoption and there may be more reasons than just child abuse that justifies denying an applicant. If legislation was changed to the proposed, as long as you have no history of child abuse you could adopt even if we or people close to them saw legitimate reasons for them to be denied. If legislation on adoption is to remain unchanged after this bill, I propose that a document is put together explaining exactly how the Government regulates adoption. |

| Message | the thing is, leaving such an option to local government can make adoption in various states problematic as one state can simply decide that there be no checks at all. So to eliminate that problem, ensure that national government can oversee such a policy initiative so that everyone is on the same page |
