I'm a single adoptive parent. Yes, the kids I have adopted are better off with me than they would be in foster care. (Not every state, especially states in the south, see it that way.)

But, realistically speaking, the best place to raise children is with a traditional married heterosexual mother and father. I can't model the dynamics of marriage on my own, and kids need to see that. Also, to grow up balanced and healthy, a kid needs both a mother to kiss his skinned knee and "make it better," and a father to say, "stop whining, it doesn't hurt, that bad."

Whenever there is a good married couple willing to take a child, that should *always* be the preferred option.

Wow that is shocking, especially since the grandparents are so young. In the US there are no real age limits for adoption. My husband and I adopted a US newborn when I was 48 and he was 57. How sad that England had become such a dreadful place.

I just adopted my fourth and I am 56 years old AND a single mom having never been married. My two eldest are in college, the twelve year old and the 2 year old which I have had in my foster home since birth are both at home of course. I have a full time job and own my own home, have a fairly new car, have also a dog, and two cats. None of it is fancy but it is full of love and I am always getting called to take another child to foster.

Shame on these liars who are willing to destroy the lives of two innocent children and devestate their loving grandparents. I would grab those kids and run for our lives before I would subject my babies to such a filthy and deadly lifestyle.

That's just about the saddest thing I've read. My 16 year old daughter came home from a dance extremely upset. We got it out of her that it was about a boy laughing at her. Because both my husband and I were there and interested in raising her right, he was able to tell her that even boys that like her will laugh at her, and I was able to give her that understanding that only a mother (who has been through it) can. Tantrum and blues averted. How can two men or two women give the same kind of counseling to their children?

Britian has sunk to new lows...what has happened to these people!!?

Those poor children and grandparents. It particularly ticks me off because I gave birth to my youngest child when I was 41! Too old, my butt!

Wow. Just when I think I've heard possibly the worst out of Great Britain, they go ahead and top it. How absolutely disgusting, immoral, unethical, and outright cruel!

They may as well start those kids off in therapy right now, so by the time they're old enough to understand what is really going on, they'll be able to correctly place the blame, instead of on themselves or their heartbroken grandparents.

As I said before, I'd be more disgusted if I didn't know for a fact that generally there aren't enough married heterosexual couples who volunteer for adoption. Not even close. There are hundreds of thousands of kids living in group homes who would appreciate even a homosexual couple over that.

I know a lot of conservatives do adopt. However, I did outreach on behalf of an regional government for adoption and foster care. I met far too many couples who said it was immoral to put kids with single parents or gay couples who in the next breath scoffed at the notion of ever doing it themselves. Hypocrisy always annoys me.

Brits are, sadly, a bellwether for the future of America since we decades ago also lost our moral base.
American kids will soon be turned over to homosexual adopters, if they aren't already, since our various governing entities are either leaning towards "the gay side" or are homosexuals themselves.
Instead of just moaning about this state of affairs, why not DO something about it?
We can start by becoming much more pro-active and end by voting out the pervs!

I'm a social worker in a liberal big city, and even here good social work practice dictates that a child should be placed with family members FIRST. If there are no available family members, then the child is placed in a foster home. And we have grandparents in their sixties raising children. Many do quite well.

So what the heck is wrong with these people??
