listening to a debate on the news about "suitable parents" for adoption

Cold night here in Walthamstow. Just listening to two evangelical Christians who have been refused the right to adopt - they are putting their case on "Littlejohn" on Sky News. The social services "weren't very happy about it"...The fact that they set store by the "Family" as the centrepiece...This became a "bar" to them being able to adopt. The council accused them of "having a very idealistic view of marriage". They were asked "if a child placed with you was gay"...They said they don't discriminate against people because of sexuality. The council felt their religious view was prejudicial to their ability to adopt...

In the UK we have 58,000 children in care at the moment...Crikey.
