Elton John urged to adopt British, not Ukrainian orphan
Monday, September 14 2009

Sir Elton John has been advised to adopt a British orphan, rather than a proposed Ukranian boy, after charities feared more children would be abandoned in eastern Europe, in the hope of being adopted by wealthy Westerners.

British charities including The British Association for Adoption and Fostering have already commented on the benefits of adopting children in this country, before turning attention to those abroad.

"It is admirable that Sir Elton wants to adopt a child but I'm not sure he's really thought it through," said a spokesperson for the charity. "We want more people to consider adoption but would urge them to look closer to home and the needy children here in the UK. Each year we have 4,000 children who require adopting, but only 3,000 youngsters find a home."

"There are 1,000 children waiting for a loving home here and perhaps Sir Elton could have a think about that."
