It's unbelievable that people are putting their moral beliefs before the need of other human beings. I am taking about the Elton John story. He tried to adopt a 14 month old HIV positive Ukrainian boy and was denied supposedly because of being to old and not married. We all know the real reason why he is not allowed to adopt this child. If a person has the love and means to adopt a sick infant who is otherwise condemn to live the rest of his life in an orphanage (Not many people will run to the opportunity of adopting an HIV positive child), why denied that opportunity to a child. I would like to hear your opinion on this matter. Should this adoption take place or be denied and why?

I agree with you. If Elton can very well afford to provide for the needs of the sick child, I think the adoption by him would be alright.

It's the law in that country, whether people like it or not. You HAVE to be married to be able to adopt a child, and they don't recognize homosexual unions to be marriages.
I think the authorities in the Ukraine did the right thing. They upheld the law of the land, that's the long and short of it.

I agree. you have to be married to adopt a child and recognition should not be given to homosecuals. Our world is daily becoming sick with cases like this.

Does adopting a child needs the adopter to be married and young?
or is it supposed to be having financial ability to raise one?
For the child to wait for married and young couple to adopt him should be like waiting for rain on the sahara desert. Moreover he is HIV positive.
let the child has better life by being adopted by someone who will raise and care for him.
