The attitude of this article has me SO pissed off.
For those of you who can't be bothered to read all of it - there's a couple of young kids (a five year old boy and a four year old girl) being adopted, in Edinburgh, by a male/male gay couple. Only the second gay adoption to happen here.
The grandparents of the kids are kicking up a stink about it because they don't want the kids raised 'without a mother figure'.
The article mentions that social workers 'admitted' that several heterosexual couples had also been interested in adopting the kids.
The emphasis is on how tragic it is that the kids are being seperated from their grandparents and the grandparents' wishes about what kind of home they should go into have been ignored.
Okay, there are a lot of complex issues here, so lets take it from the top, okay?
( Long, LONG rant. )
