See above re: what Pippa said - no, I don't think they should have automatically taken the kid away from foster parents he was already settled with.
But what if he or subsequent foster children is gay? He would be brought up in an environment which is obviously not going to be exactly helpful in that situation. I agree that the council should engage with the couple and other parents to try and improve the situation rather than automatically disqualifying them, but ultimately if they are going to stick to their views then what can be done?
