'You'll never see your grandchildren again': Social worker's warning to couple after they spoke out over gay adoption row (www.dailymail.co.uk)

So runs the headline in the Daily Mail this week. I cannot fathom the workings of the social workers minds who would place the needs of a gay couple before the emotional needs of two children, already battle scarred with life and cheating them out of the love and care of their extended family and with no regard to placing them in a loving home. If anyone knows of a petition out there to return the children to their rightful guardians - the grandparents - then let me know -I will sign it!
