By the way Gawain, I thought you should know now, so you can think of the face saving excuses before the time - From next month gay couples are legally allowed to adopt children here. Maybe you can pretend they are not children but instead 'kids' for we all know the difference between a kid and child is huge!

We are proud of this legislation over here, it is only a matter of time before your country see's rational progressive sense and adopts (ha!) similar legislation.
