We support this bill, because we understand that New Zealand's existing laws around surrogacy and adoption are not up to date and are in need of modernisation to bring them into the 21st century. The evidence of this can be seen, as I mentioned, in the petition that was presented to Parliament in 2019. Currently, prospective parents must await the birth of their child before beginning the process of adoption, and the child of a surrogacy arrangement is born into a situation where his or her or their social or caregiving parents may have no legal responsibilities and rights in relation to the child. And one of the challenges that is before me is that while I can contribute to a child being made at birth, there's a few steps that I would have to go through to be the legal father.
