As I mentioned, I think that if we stick with what we have now, where adoptive parents only qualify for parental benefits and don't qualify for those added maternity benefits and get less leave, we're not recognizing the unique challenges involved with adoption.
We're really not valuing and understanding that way of forming families, which I think is really significant, because there's already a normalization of using assisted reproduction, for example, when people can't have children the old-fashioned way. There's already a kind of sense that adoption is second best to biological reproduction.
For the government to signal that's not true is really important. I think equality for families formed in that way is central, and I don't think we really respect those families equally by giving them less parental leave.
