Adoption And Unintentional Sibling Marriage
EDM number 827 in 2007-08, proposed by John Hemming on 30/01/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Children's social services, Family law and Marriage.
That this House welcomes the establishment of a drugs courts in London, which will hear cases involving expecting and new mothers; is pleased to note that the establishment of the court recognises that the removal of new born babies from mothers is not an ideal course of action; considers that mothers with epilepsy or learning difficulties should also be eligible for childcare support rather than removal of children at birth for adoption; notes that there are now groups of 14 or 15 siblings, each of which has been separately adopted and who are at risk of unintentional sibling marriage; and calls on the Government to review what further action might be taken to minimise the risk of such occurrences.
This motion has been signed by a total of 13 MPs.
