The Herald (Scotland) 29 January 2009
Church leaders hit out at social work chiefs today over claims that a couple were \”forced\” to give up their grandchildren for adoption by two gay men. The grandparents wanted to care for the five-year-old boy and his four-year-old sister because their mother was unable to look after them. But it was reported today that the children, from Edinburgh, are now to be adopted by a gay couple. And the grandparents claim they have been warned they risk never seeing the youngsters again if they continue with their opposition to the same-sex adoption. Peter Kearney, a spokesman for the Catholic Church in Scotland, said: \”This is a devastating decision which will have a serious impact on the welfare of the children involved.
