So my two friends who just adopted are "an indulgent sham of a family group"??? Neither of them is biologically related to the child. I know for a fact that they're the most loving, caring people and young Kitty will grow up in family that loves her dearly. By the way they're both professionals(nurses), middle of the road, politically, and aren't real feminists.
Are they a hetro couple? Just a little confused with your last sentence - are you playing games Loggy?

Yes... but in the situation of my two friends that I mentioned earlier Neither of them have links to the biological father.
Ok, why not? Who decided that for Kitty? Surely Kitty has a right to know who her biological father is. These sort of things can come up later in life, believe it or not people do like to know what makes them tick. How old will Kitty be when they plan on letting her know the truth?

But I see no possibility that the biological father would have any rights to custody of the child.
The court has granted legal custody to my friends( Graham and Michelle) and that's that.
I'm a little lost right here - are we talking hetro or homo couple? I'm just trying to understand. Is Graham a bull dyke?

I'm still at a loss to understand your Statement about children not being objects to acquire. My friends "acquired" a child. They "Acquired" a child through the relevant adoption agency. They've met the biological mum. They're raising the child as they're own ....because they can't have kids.
Ok, they can't have kids. Why can't they just accept what nature has dealt them? When do they plan to break the news to Kitty? Will biological Mum have a say in any of this?
log man said...
Does this mean that Graham and Michelle are even less worthy to have kids.
Compared to who?
log man said...
Does this mean Graham and Michelle are "selfish"....... for what.... wanting to have a family.
Yes, I think they may be a tad selfish. Nature dealt them a dud hand. That's how it goes sometimes - I think they are selfish to defy it.

You stated..... "Loggy, I really hope your two selfish friends and their latest acquisition turn out how you think".....Well my two friends are the kindest openest people I know and their "acquisition"(kitty)is pure joy.
Yes, I hope it all works out well. I think it may be a very hard road for Kitty, if her parents are both female.
