Okay, that's a bit much

Adoptive family 'must be lesbian'

Of course, just because the adoptive family of choice is seen as a lesbian couple (because the mother is in a lesbian relationship herself), I'm not sure that 'requires' or 'insists' that it's the case. it seems to me that the most important thing is to find loving parents. I can see some concern in terms of race/ethnicity in wanted to keep a similar background, of course, but I think a loving and caring environment is more important than race. In this case, I think the concern must be achieving a certain amount of continuity for the children, aged 2 and 3. One does wonder, though, that if the continuity is that important, why adoption in the first place? It doesn't sound like there's really been stability so far, with each the child of a different man, and now the mother in another relationship.

This quote is just way off-base, though:

The Labour council behind the move was accused of "barmy" political correctness. They said the case highlighted how the adoption system was still being twisted by social workers' ambitions to reconstruct society.

Oh, yeah, who knew those crazy social workers were out to reconstruct society in their image? Dwana, have you been holding out on us? The horror!
