Boy, 5, forced into adoption with gay couple pleads: 'We want to stay with our gran and grandad'

The mother of two children who are being adopted by gay men even though their grandparents want to care for them wept yesterday as she told of her final meeting with her son and daughter.

‘I told them, “Listen, Mummy is not going to see you for a while”,’ she said. Her son replied: ‘But Mummy, I want to come and stay with you and Granny and Grandad.’

Their grandparents spent two years fighting for the right to care for the children, whose 26-year-old mother is a recovering heroin addict. She desperately wanted her parents to look after them.

But social workers said their ages – he is 59 and she is 46 – and their health – he has angina and she is diabetic – ruled them out.

The mother told the Mail that she had been ordered to say her goodbyes to the children last August during a trip to Edinburgh Zoo. ‘They told me not to cry and be strong so as not to upset the children,’ she said. ‘How can you tell a mother that when she’s never going to see her children again?

She voiced her anger at the decision to allow her son and daughter to be fostered by a homosexual couple.

‘I did not under any circumstances want my children to be placed with gay men. I wanted them to have a mum and a dad.

‘They can’t be telling me that, within a 60-mile radius, the only people they could find to look after my children were two men.

‘I’ve got nothing against gay people. I’ve got gay friends, but children need a mum and a dad, not a dad and another dad.

--For Some Freedom is just another word for telling someone else what to do.

Tragedy.

[Cheetahcat]

This is sick!

[Shadowstrike]

I don’t understand why they won’t let the Grandparents have these children..
Diabetic? Isn’t that being descriminated againast?

The mom is a ‘recovering’ heroin addict?

Nowadays I thought you just about had to be a cannibal to not get your kids.

Social Workers.

The real reason they took guns away from the British.

Read it and weep. It’s a peek at America in Year 3 of the Bommmie the Commie Administration. All “rights” for fags, no rights for straights.

[Quix]

Lord, God, may all the blathering uncivilized, unthoughtful, blindly complicit bureaucrats involved in this case find your suitable consequences for their complicity to be burning coals in their lap.

In Jesus’ Name.

A five year old knows the difference. Good grief, let him be adopted by his grandparents.

[Salamander]

I’d like to what a “health report” turns up on the 2 sodomite “dads”.

[upsdriver]

Sick bastards!

Ah ha. That’s the argument I’ve always had when Bill O’Reilly has said, “I would rather see two loving gay men adopt a child than two abusive heterosexuals!” Really? That’s the choice? We can’t find any good heterosexual parents, even though gays are 2% of the population and only a small percentage of them even want to adopt?

This is exactly what’s in store for America with gay marriage on the horizon. Children being taken away from loving grandparents, aunts and uncles, and handed over as fresh meat for perverts.

If his angina is stable (if it wasn’t he would probably have had bypass already) and her diabetes is in control then there overhealth is only slightly worse then that of an average person.

But surely if one were a lavendar camel it would be “hateful” to discriminate against them.

This kind of idiot judicial interference had been going on for decades. I had my own personal dealings with a judge making a stupid and idiotic call in a case not to dissimilar in 1959.

Are you bleeping kidding me??? I must be hallucinating!

[BallyBill]

Don't worry sonny, the Government knows what is best for you. /s

This sounds very strange. This is the kind of crap that leads people to strap a bomb around themselves.

Most 46-year-old diabetics whose disease is under control are not too ill to take care of two children. One assumes that the mother, once rehabilitated, could resume custody. Since when are the wishes (and potential happiness) of the child to be disregarded?

[Beowulf9]

and now maybe this kid will be raised to be gay.

I don’t think it’ll take THAT long,sadly.....
