shropshire 0 #1 December 31, 2005 From yesterday.... the adoption laws in the U.K became more sensible (IMHO). Until yesterday, any unMarried couple that adopted a child could only do so in one of the couples name. Now unMarrieds (yes, including same-sex couples) can adopt jointly... clicky. Common sense prevails ..... at last.. (.)Y(.) Chivalry is not dead; it only sleeps for want of work to do. - Jerome K Jerome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miked10270 0 #2 January 1, 2006 If you're gonna stir up some controversy... Post about how these same-sex adoptive couples also KISS each other AND the adopted child!!!!!!!! Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

shropshire 0 #3 January 2, 2006 Hi Mike & Happy New to you.. Sorry... this one wasn't a wind up or troll (makes a change) I know of a couple of unmarried people (straight)at work that have had problems having kids and wanted to adopt ... what a nightmare (i dont know all the details, but it seesm that they have had a hard time).... anyway now it looks like they have a chance.
