Fathers rights campaigners question the assumption that it can ever be legitimate for the state to collude in disrupting a loving and natural relationship between a father and his children. Others， of course， would regard such use of language as question-begging. In a controversial passage， Bob Geldof has written eloquently and emotively on this subject：
I cannot even say the words. A huge emptiness would well in my stomach， a deep loathing for those who would deign to tell me they would ALLOW me ACCESS to my children—those I loved above all， those I created， those who gave meaning to everything I did， those that were the very best of us two and the absolute physical manifestation of our once blinding love. Who thefuck are they that they should ALLOW anything？ REASONABLE CONTACT！ ！！ Is the law mad？ Am I a criminal？ An ABSENT parent. A RESIDENT/NON-RESIDENT parent. This Lawspeak which you all speak so fluently， so unthinkingly， so hurtfully， must go.
Delay
Bob Geldof has written on this subject：
Upon separation， the system is slow and delay occurs immediately. This allows the status quo to be established. As the process labours on it becomes impossible to alter. This is unfair. It is nearly always possible for the resident parent （ let s face it， the girl） to establish a pattern. It is then deemed in the child s interest not to break this routine. But at the cost of losing sight and touch of their father， we must really examine all our assumptions without fear. Then we can move to building a more equitable system benefiting all equally.
（quoted fromThe Real Love ThatDare Not Speak Its Name： A Sometimes Coherent Rant）
Fathers rights campaigners point to cases where flimsy or dishonest arguments have been allowed by courts to result in unnecessarily long separations occurring between fathers and children during and after lengthy periods of court hearings. It is argued that effort would be better spent dealing properly with the trauma of the parents initial separation and allowing the children to maintain their relationships with both parents continuously.

During the evolution of the United Kingdom， Wales has been considered a principality， the Principality of Wales， rather than an incorporated country， despite constituting a separatecountry ethnically and culturally. Thedevolved National Assembly for Wales （ Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru） was created in1999 by the Parliament of the United Kingdom under the Government of Wales Act1998 and provides a degree of selfgovernment in Wales， including powers to amend English law from Parliament. These powers were expanded by the Government of Wales Act 2006， and the Welsh Assembly Government can now propose and pass its own laws.

3.doption （领养，收养） ： It is the legal act of permanently placing a child with a parent or parents other than the birth （ or“biological”， or“natural”） mother or father.
