What to say about this?

In Scotland, social workers award adoption of a little boy and girl, children of a drug addicted single mother, to a male couple. The children's grandparents are alive and desirous of caring for them (but were told they were too old at 59 &46) so both mother and grandparents agreed to placement with a male/female couple, of which several were available and willing...The family was told to agree to the male couple's adoption or they would never see the children again.

Details here.

Before anyone starts giving me the self-loathing gay routine, consider this scenario:

In Scotland, social workers award adoption of a little boy and girl, children of a severely handicapped Muslim widow, to a Christian couple. The children's grandparents are alive and desirous of caring for them (but were told they were too old at 59 &46) so both both mother and grandparents agreed to placement with a Muslim couple, of which several were available and willing. The family was told to agree to the Christian couple's adoption or they would never see the children again.

Gives new awful meaning to the Nanny State.
