MorphRC Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 [b]'Adoptive family `must be lesbians' 18aug04[/b] LONDON: Social workers in Britain are demanding that two children are adopted by a lesbian couple, because their mother was involved in a same-sex relationship. The pair – a girl of two and boy of three – have been living happily with heterosexual foster parents for more than a year. But social workers are now insisting they be returned to the same "environment" that they experienced as infants. The Labour council behind the move was accused of "barmy" political correctness. They said the case highlighted how the adoption system was still being twisted by social workers' ambitions to reconstruct society. Britain has seen an explosion in gay adoption since it became legal 18 months ago. In some parts of the country, rates have reached one in six adoptions. The case was being heard yesterday in a Family Proceedings Court in London after months of legal wrangling. A lesbian couple are the preferred choice of social services at Greenwich Council in south-east London. A social worker has sought at least two lesbian couples who would be prepared to take on the children. Others, however, would like to see the pair placed with a heterosexual family. The children were born to different fathers before their mother started a lesbian relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeschoolmom Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 That is absolutely rediculous... What if the environment that they came from was filled with child molesters and drug addicts? Do we seek out that kind of new environment? What next...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Germ Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 (edited) :scratch: I hope we never adopt that kind of adoption in the states. That is just sad. How are those children going to learn what it is like to have both parents? Have any of you lady's gone shopping with your Dads? or Any of you gents been made to do something you don't ordinarily do with you Moms? I firmly believe that every kid needs a Mom and a Dad. And I know what I am talking about too! My Mother died when I was twelve. And My Dad may do an exelent job of taking her place, but there are just some things Dad's aren't made to do. There are also things Mom's weren't built to do either. CatG Edited August 18, 2004 by Cat Germ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
