Elton John: Filthy rich - but too old and too gay to adopt (1 Viewer)

Ukraine set to block Elton John adoption | Entertainment | News.com.au

POP star Elton John's bid to adopt a HIV-infected Ukrainian child will be rejected, according to a government minister.

Sir Elton and his male partner David Furnish want to adopt 14-month-old Lev who they met at an orphanage in the Ukrainian city of Makeyevka last Saturday.

However Ukraine requires that adoptive parents be married and does not recognise same sex weddings, Family, Youth and Sports Minister Yuriy Pavlenko told The Associated Press.

Mr Pavlenko also said at age 62, John is too old to adopt according to Ukrainian law that requires a prospective adoptive parent to be no more than 45 years.

Sir Elton had previously said that he recognised his age might be a problem and that Mr Furnish might have to take the lead, although the Canadian filmmaker is himself 46.

The proposed adoption has been controversial, especially with Sir Elton previously jokingly dismissing the idea that he might join celebrities such as Madonna and Angelina Jolie in adopting children from disadvantaged countries.

For fucks sake.

HIV is no longer confined to the homosexual population, it reared its ugly head in the strait population in the mid 80's. it is also inherited from the parents which is why so many kids in african countries have it.
also, how can a 14 month old have any defined sexuality

He's pretty much a candle in the wind.

Elton John is one of the greatest musicians alive, you don't sell as many albums as he has if your not very good!

 

[kokodamonkey]

With his kinda money, couldnt he just adopt the whole orphanage and set them up with a sweet house?

No because only people of decent moral character are allowed to adopt.

 

[copkiller]

No because only people of decent moral character are allowed to adopt.

But any lunatic is allowed to have kids.

Also, I hear orphanages are a great place to raise children.
