What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Calls on the Member States to halt child adoptions in order to avoid further or permanent separation for children from their parents and families against their best interests
• Calls on the Member States to treat every child seeking refuge first and foremost as a child, regardless of their social or ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation, ability, nationality or migration status
• Stresses the importance of information-sharing among Member States in full compliance with data protection rules and that registration from one Member State is recognised by another

Quoted from B9-0207/2022, which says more than these lines. Each is a whole paragraph; this site does not rewrite them.
