Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Maybe I will be just a little bit more clear about my concern here. What it says is that the register may disclose registry information that related to an adoption in accordance with the regulations. I think that is fine. Then it goes on to say that the adoptive person with the consent of the natural parent, it does not say natural parents. My question was, when you have a child you need two parents. What if one parent wanted to remain anonymous? If a relationship breaks down and one parent of an adoptive child does not want to be disclosed, but in this case, the natural parent is allowing it, not natural parents. Is there any reason why you are using the singular form and not the plural form of parent?
