More added to adoption law to dispense with parental consent

The new Bill also clarifies the proposed thresholds and circumstances where consent to the adoption may be dispensed with. They include cases where the birth parents have intentionally caused grievous hurt to the child or failed to provide suitable care over a prolonged period. In addition, the child would have been under the state's care for many years.

Ms Ng said there is a small group of parents who feel that no one should take away their parental rights and it is their prerogative to parent the way they want. If the Guardian-in-Adoption concludes that the conditions for dispensing with parental consent are met, it will recommend that the court do so.
