Speaking during the debate on the proposed changes to adoption rules, he said:"This means that only a man and a woman married to each other can apply together. This is because Singapore's marriage law only allows a man and woman to marry each other."
He said:"To be clear, we do not support the use of assisted reproduction technology or surrogacy to conceive and then adopt a child. Our public policy encourages parenthood within marriage." The new law also tightens the eligibility criteria to adopt. For example, those convicted of serious crimes like sexual abuse and drug consumption offences cannot adopt.
Mr Masagos said:"As I said earlier, the key focus of adoption is the children's welfare, rather than supporting parenthood. This means ensuring they are adopted by families who can provide good home environments for them." There is now no specific regulatory framework that governs adoptions, although everyone involved must comply with Singapore laws on criminal activities like child trafficking.
