Unmarried couples free to adopt
http://society.guardian.co.uk/children/story/0,1074,1675400,00.html?gusrc=rss
The Adoption and Children Act 2002, the most radical overhaul of adoption legislation for almost 30 years, is designed to encourage more people interested in adopting to come forward by removing the bar on unmarried couples who wish to jointly adopt a child.
From today, adoption agencies will merely need to be satisfied that an individual couple have a stable and lasting relationship and that they can provide a loving family for a child.
I may be wrong, but I bet this is a gay agenda thing, in fact a victory, although the article doesn't mention it. Otherwise, why woundn't a normal couple be willing to marry in order to provide the required "stable and lasting relationship"?
Most uses of the term "homophobic" are ridiculous. But I am naturally “phobic” about 2 homosexual men adopting boys.
Let's not kid ourselves. The bonds of family prevent and provide lots of things.... but first you need a family.

So you think the government may be saying that cohabitating couples, who are not willing to commit to marriage, should still adopt?
Yikes. That lowering of the bar is pretty sad then.
From Papalist...
Yes, I think that's the implication. Governments have every incentive to encourage marriage. Statistics bear out the public benefits of marriage (longer lasting relationships, healthier for spouses, etc.). Yet governments (courts in the U.S., but apparently the legislature in UK) routinely ignore this hard evidence to advance social agendas. Until governments realize they are not experts in this field--and must therefore yield to the experts--we're doomed to be led along by cultural elites promoting poison.
