Thank you very much, Chair.
I'd like to thank Ms. McLeod for being here and sharing her insight, testimony and experience.
Also, Ms. Eisner, thank you so much. You did wonderfully. I want to thank you for your courage and your bravery, and for being willing to share vulnerability. I think that's so important, especially in places like this, which sometimes.... It's not “sometimes”. This place is very rarely friendly to vulnerability, so I want to thank you so much. You did such a good job, and you're so well-spoken. Thank you so much for taking the time to be here and share.
I would like to start with you, if that's okay, Ms. Eisner.
How important is it for children and youth who are adopted to build attachments with their new family?
