ELTON JOHN CHILD ADOPTION DENIED!!!
Elton John has been denied the opportunity to able to adopt a 14-month-old HIV-positive child from Ukraine because the pop star is too old and isn't married. John met the young boy named "Lev" while touring the orphanage during a charity AIDS event. John and his partner expressed interest in adopting the young child after the encounter.
Ukrainian law requires a parent to be no more than 45 years older than an adopted child and a couple must be married. John and his partner married in Britain in 2005 but Ukraine does not recognize gay unions as marriage. Ukraine is very supportive and appreciative of John's work and hopes that his interest in adoption will cause more people to take interest.
"Ukrainians are still reluctant to adopt ill, psychologically challenged children or those older than 10. Pavlenko said that only about 30 HIV-positive children have been adopted since 2007. About 32,000 Ukrainian orphans are waiting to be adopted this year, but only 2,000 Ukrainian families are lined to adopt them".
