Sorry if this has already been posted, but this story is just truly horiffic. The article says "This case, in Edinburgh, raises worrying issues about state interference in family life." Well, no SH_T!! Here you see the ultimate insanity of political correctness. Forced adoption should be here in the US very shortly.

But they were ruled to be too old - at 46 and 59. The devastated grandparents were told they would never see the youngsters again unless they dropped their opposition.

I just have no words.

My grandmother had a baby at 44! And Charlie Chaplin was a dad in his 70’s.

Slippery slope people!

Indeed. This is "middle-aged", not "old" unless you're going by 19th century standards. They were just looking for fresh young meat adoptees to hand out those that they view as their true clientele.

I posted yesterday that the Catholic Church in Scotland, where this is going on, were contacted by a wealthy business tycoon plus other businessmen and attorneys. This group hired a very good law firm in the area who are taking on the council who took the children away. These councils in the UK are like communist cadres.

You can search news feeds to verfiy what i said and probably get an update.

Dang, my wife and I are both 55. We are adopting my wife's daughter's daughter, who's seven months old. She has been with us since August and the legal adoption process moves slowly, another 6 weeks and we go in front of the judge for final decree. It would get ugly if a judge tried to pull that crap on us.

Thanks for posting that. I’m glad to hear there’s hope that this travesty might be reversed.

I don't even consider it "middle-aged"........but that's probably because I'm 48 and my husband is 53 and our only child is 10.

I realize this is the UK, but for crying out loud, this is downright scary.

The grandfather was told by a social worker: 'If you couldn't support the children [in the gay adoption], if you were having contact and couldn't support the children, and were showing negative feelings, it wouldn't be in their best interests for contact to take place.'

Its time for some social workers to be hung by their heels from the nearest lamp post. What went so wrong in Britain? How does the general population stand for this crap?

Just gay guys so they can dabble in pedophilia in the privacy of the home.

No doubt they have friends on the Council.

That’s one of the consequences of taking away the rights of fathers. We told you so!

“We are adopting my wife’s daughter’s daughter, who’s seven months old.”

Good for you! I remember getting lambasted here some time ago when I made the statement that I wouldn’t ever consider letting flesh and blood out of the family.

Maybe it’s too old by “Socialized (therefore, rationed) Healcare”

It must truly suck.

I will probably get in trouble for saying this, but this is why we have guns.
