Adoption and Children Act 2002
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
68 Adoptive relatives
(1) A relationship existing by virtue of section 67 may be referred to as an adoptive relationship, and— (a) an adopter may be referred to as an adoptive parent or (as the case may be) as an adoptive father or adoptive mother, (b) any other relative of any degree under an adoptive relationship may be referred to as an adoptive relative of that degree. (2) Subsection (1) does not affect the interpretation of any reference, not qualified by the word “adoptive”, to a relationship. (3) A reference (however expressed) to the adoptive mother and father of a child adopted by— (a) a couple of the same sex, or (b) a partner of the child’s parent, where the couple are of the same sex, is to be read as a reference to the child’s adoptive parents.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
