Two young children are to be adopted by a gay couple, despite the protests of their grandparents. The grandparents first stepped in because the children's mother was unable to look after them. The couple, who cannot be named, wanted to give the five-year-old boy and his four-year-old sister a loving home themselves. 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.

Yes, there comes a point, and state kidnapping of children to place them with a couple of gay men would certainly be my point.
My grandparents raised me from age 3 to 11 - the most stable, loving home I ever had.
They were in their 70’s!
Thanks, I thought it was wagglebee, but wasn’t 100% sure and didn’t want to ping someone who would wonder why I pinged :)
I have to leave the decision of other pings you feel appropriate up to you.
This is insanity.
I have become very much a fan of Scottish culture over the years. What has become on the fighting spirit of 'Scotland the Brave'? Scotland, the cradle of Protestantism in GB, the land which 'has withstood the shock of England, of Denmark, of Rome and the world!'?
Your ancestors would be shocked. Hell's bells, I am shocked. This goes so far beyond anything of the like I have ever heard about, except in Muslim and other backward cultures. I hereby pray earnestly that justice and common decency prevail over there. Because 'over there' is really here and now in our shrinking, Politically Korrect world.
...and Jimmy Dohan (Star Trek's Scotty) and his wife had a child when he was 80.
You mean the ones who are "too old" to have children? ;-).
I get what you mean now.....
If I’m not sure about who to ping, I look at their posting history to see if they have been pinging the list I thought they had.
There’s always this but it’s about two years old. I don’t know if there’s a more recent update.
