"Mr President, the greatest gift that we can give to any child is that of a happy home. Most children find that in their own home with their natural parents. Many though, get this with their adoptive parents.
Either is preferable to an institutional life, provided, of course, that there is no corruption or exploitation involved.
To find the balance is very difficult, but I think that we need – while taking into consideration the Hague Convention, etc. – where there are prospective adoptive parents who are
and beyond reproach, to facilitate them more in giving the gift of a happy home to a child who has not otherwise got one, and not encumbering them with lengthy, expensive, drawn-out processes.
We need to get the balance right because, as a teacher, I came across many adopted children and the vast majority were in very good homes."@en1
