A ten-year-old Catholic boy is being placed in the care of homosexual foster parents against the wishes of his...mother.
...his permanent new foster home, a hotel...run by a middle-aged male couple....
[snip]
The boy was first placed in care a year ago when his mother suffered a mental breakdown...left her unable to look after him.
... he attends a faith school and is due to take his First Communion soon....
The Thomas More Legal Centre, a Catholic legal charity...to represent the mother....
Her parish priest and her son’s headteacher are said to be deeply concerned.
The priest said: ‘This isn’t about a gay couple...this is about a gay couple running a hotel where they also live...they cannot restrict who the child is going to meet....’
...a fellow parishioner who is helping her... said: ‘...She is a committed Catholic ...She knows she is unwell and cannot cope with looking after him. All she wants is for him to be raised in a regular family...by a man and a woman.
‘She would prefer a Catholic couple, but if that is not possible, at least a heterosexual one. But social services have given her no choice...
...a leading Catholic lawyer...said: ‘I have to ask, would a local authority put a ten-year-old atheist child into a devoutly Catholic home? I think not.....’
‘...authority is clearly not taking account of this child’s cultural and religious identity,....’
The council...has one of the highest rates of gay fostering and adoption in Britain...told the mother the men...are experienced, fully qualified...
But...not...to answer questions about why it chose to place the child with same-sex foster parents against his mother’s wishes....

And we think churches have troubles in the USA.
Completely wrong, and I would seriously question the judgment of anyone who thinks otherwise.
Uh, yes it is about the gay couple. No, it isn’t about the hotel. What if the foster family ran a grocery store or a gas station or whatever business. The kid could meet all sorts of people anywhere. Quit being so PC. Call it what it is. The mom and the Church are opposed to the boy living with and being influenced by two gay guys. They are correct that if had been any other culture or ethnicity, the powers that be would have looked more closely at the placement.
Note to self - if ever in an abusive situation, get the heck out before you have a mental breakdown and can’t properly take care of your kids and before it flows over onto the kids.
All the parents should have the same reaction
Uhmmm... it ought to be.
Considering the disgrace the sodomite infiltrators brought upon The Church, thus far, homosexuals should be strictly prohibited from getting their hands on young people.
This is SO WRONG it makes me ill.
I question this. A gas station and a dry goods store can not be equate with a hotel. The first two are used only briefly, and there are no closed doors, i.e. privacy for extended periods of time. Delicacy compels me to allow imagination to supply the rest.
Supporting homosexual adoption is also part of the Libertarian Party Platform in America.
the men...are experienced,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, you bet they are experienced, in an abhorrent lifestyle.
Sometimes, they refuse older couples the right to adopt. I've even heard of them not allowing a husband and wife to adopt because they said he was too fat. But they are quick to have gay couples adopt.
