This story is about how the Ukrainian government will not allow Elton John and his partner, David Furnish, adopt. Elton and David visited a Ukrainian orphanage recently and feel in love with a 14-month old boy with HIV. Ukrainian government feel that the couple are too old to adopt a child. A church spokesman thanked god that it was impossible for Elton to adopt. Church spokesman Father Gulyaev also says that Elton was a sinner and is the dead end of human development. Lev the child, will most likly end up in foster care. The author of this article made this out to be about them being gay.
I am not sure if the Ukrainain government stoped the adoption because they a gay or not. I don't feel that would be right, but I would have to agree that they are too old. I mean Elton is 62 years old. A man of that age should not be adooting a child. I think this whole article was about gay marrage and trying to make the Ukrainain government look bad. I personly don't care about gay marrige either way. If two people want to be together more power to them. I think that Elton and David need to think about little Lev future.
Little Lev needs to have a family that can grow with him. At the age of 62 Eltons time is on the down side of the hill. Where is Lev going to be in the next 10 to 15 years? A time in his life were Lev will need his parants the most Elton will be in his mid 70's to early 80's. I have a friend who was raised by his grandparants and by 15 he was all alone. Both his grandparants had passed away and at the age of 15 he was on his own. I don't care if they are gay or not I just think they need to think about how this is going to play out.
With this all being said I think that Elton is trying to give a child a better life and that is great. I wish that more people would open there hearts and do the same. I also feel that Elton and David have to keep the best interist of the child and think about his future.

Sure, Elton John is getting up there in age but his partner is significantly younger. Besides, straight couples have kids all the time when the father is much older than the mother. I think this is a blatant case of sexual orientation discrimination. I believe we are all equal and everyone should be granted equal rights in every walk of life. This kids life would be 10,000,000 times better in their home, under their supervision, than he ever would be at his current location. His financial needs alone with his medical condition are something to take into consideration. It wouldn't just be improving his quality of life it would probably be giving him a real shot at living.
