Adoption proposal 'doesn't mean a hell of a lot' says rights group

A spokesperson for the Adoption Rights Alliance has said that the proposal that adopted men and women will no longer be forced to sign an “undertaking” saying they won’t contact their natural parents in order to get access to their birth cert information “doesn’t mean a hell of a lot.”

TDs and lobby groups had expressed concerns with the provision contained in the Adoption and Information Tracing Bill which is currently making its way through the Oireachtas.
