George Lee
Ceist:141 Deputy George Lee asked the Minister for Health and Children the legal status of independent adoptions after the Adoption Bill 2009 is passed; if distinction will be made between couples who have clearance from the Health Service Executive for an independent adoption and those who do not; if there will be interim measures included in the Bill to allow those who have begun the process of an independent adoption to conclude it; if the Bill will require adoption processes from the point of declaration to receiving the child to be processed here by an agency which would be an accredited body; the way couples who wish to adopt ensure that they do not violate Part 1, section 4 of the Bill; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
