Its a troubled relationship. He drinks too much, knockers her about a bit. She suffers terribly for three years and as the domestic violence increases, she escapes the family home to a woman's refuge.
The child is taken into care.
The father leaves the country to work abroad tax free in an attempt to sort himself out and get back on his feet, he is unreachable by social services and never attempts to make contact himself.
The mother is deemed to be in an unfit state due to the effects the abuse she has suffered has had on her.
The child is put into foster care but any attempt to find a permanent home for the child is suspended to give the mother time enough to see if recovery is possible for her to regain custody of her child.
After a period of therapy and a violence free life the mother asked social services to be re-united with her child. She now lives in a bigger house with a good sized garden and her financial situation is greatly improved. She has since entered into a lesbian relationship.
Social services perform the necessary checks as they would with any couple in the process of re-homing a child taken into care. They meet with the stipulated criteria and the child is re-homed with them.
Point I'm making is purely from the childs perspective. Torturous upbringing leads to period of being taken into care before being re-homed into a loving family environment. A gay couple. One of whom happens to be the childs natural mother.
Are you really going to suggest that this should not be allowed?
Or that males should be discriminated against and that only lesbian couples should be allowed to adopt. Or should there be a natural parent onus on such homosexual situations? Which surely strikes at the very core of the adoption process in any case.
You may not like it, it may not be ideal. But adoption never is, and its fair to say that minds greater than those who inhabit this place have long since agreed that Idi and myself are in the right.

Thats the trouble with lesbians, they are just so_fecking mundane. As soon as they get involved all the intrigue and excitment goes out of the window. The dull furry cup drinking bastids!
