For one that is that countries right to make whatever requirements it wants. Now on the other hand the child in my opinon would be well taken care of by Sir John and his partner. Even if Sir John does not get to live long enough to see the child grow to hood, the child will never the less be in a much better position in life.
Sir John I am so sorry for your disappointment. You and your husband would be loving, caring, devoted parents. I can't believe the Ministry would prefer to have a baby raised in an institution! BELIEVE = there will be a way to complete your family with a child. God Bless
Puhleeze...this is just a publicity stunt. Jumping on the celebrity "baby as accessory bandwagon"...Elton knew he'd be turned down as he "although he doesn't 'know' what the rules are" as he said in the interview/press conference.
Do you think we should be surprised? It's better to have NOTHING than to be with a gay man.
oh please, if Elton John cared so much about disadvantaged children (HIV nothwithstanding), then why doesn't he adopt a child from the UK, within his OWN country? there are lots to choose from, i'm sure. this is just a shameless publicity stunt. 'Sir Elton' knew full well that he would be turned down by Ukraine officials. PHEW, thank god they said NO! that's what he saying to himself as we speak. meanwhile, the Rocket Man basks in sympathy & admiration. pfft, we are not amused, Reginald.
Sir Elton John is a perfect candidate for adopting any child, especially one with special needs being stuck with this disease at such a young age! He should sue from our American Courts for discrimination and take it to the Supreme Court if necessary. I really think he could WIN. Go for it Sir Elton John...and sing that baby to sleep at night!!
what a bunch of morons. 1. you have someone willing to care for a 14 year old that otherwise won't be adopted. 2. He can afford to care for him. 3. He has a partner to assist. It is the same stupid backwards mentality that wants to send us all to lepar colonies.

The refusal to allow Elton to and his partner to adopt was not in the best interest of the child. Elton and his partner would have been able to provide this child with the best health care, education, etc. I have never seen anything in the media indicating that they would make worse parents than Madonna, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
