Mr. Speaker, the Minister said that last year there were 39 adoptions that took place, of which 15 of them were private adoptions. I would like to ask the Minister, of the other 24, then, were they custom adoptions?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my return to his oral question that was asked, in 1992, there were eight departmental and 31 private adoptions for a total of 39. Of these, only 15 aboriginal children were placed in non-aboriginal homes.

So, the 15 children who were placed in non-aboriginal homes were done by private adoptions?

No, these would have had to have gone, I guess, through the department.

If I understood Mr. Gargan, the MLA for Deh Cho's question, he asked if 15 were custom adoptions. A total of 15 were placed in non-aboriginal homes.

Yes, I recognize that the Minister is saying that. What I'm asking is if that was done through private adoptions?

I also understood the Minister to say that it is only six months after these adoptions take place, that the department gets involved. Am I to understand, then, that while the private adoption is taking place, the department doesn't intervene with the natural mother, with regard to counselling or advice?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If the natural mother requests counselling from the department, they do receive counselling. Thank you.
