no kas would it not be discrimination and a lack of equality if the pedophiles where not allowed to adopt if they was homosexual
i do believe this is your shout on equality im just pointing out all the possibles :huh:
Very interesting point. Do you know of any paedophiles that have been granted adoption/foster rights after their conviction?
Not knowing much about adoption/foster rules, I believe a conviction may make the application ineligible. Has there been many cases? Or are you talking hypothetical. If you are talking hypothetical then the simple rule of protecting the kids from convicted criminals would be a sensible one if the adults were homosexual, straight, bi, etc. This would be discriminating against them, but allowed in law.
Discrimination is being bandied about as a bad word but it can also be used for good. E.g. discriminating on age: Stopping under 18's from smoking, discriminating on sex: Banning females of child bearing age working with lead/in the lead industry, etc

thank you dave im not very good at putting my case across at times i am just pointing out the rules of equality
and yes all hypothetical
what about suspected pedophiles ??
Suspected by whom? A neighbour? The police? In what context?
If only suspected i.e. charges brought but not convicted then yes the application can be progressed but not completed until the outcome of the case in court. If they are found innocent then the application can be processed, but if convicted then someone in jail cannot adopt.
Common sense really
