The Sunday Telegraph revealed last week that Dr Sheila Matthews had been removed from Northamptonshire county council's adoption panel because she was not willing to recommend gay couples as suitable candidates to become adoptive parents.
However, following protests, Northamptonshire has now decided that she can continue with the central part of her role – conducting medical examinations of would-be adoptive parents and children waiting to be adopted. She will not be allowed to take part in the adoption panel's votes on whether candidates would make suitable parents. the rest

Please do not for one second think you know me.
I am loving, supportive, caring and have much love to give. My partner and I have been together for 10 years and are both nurturing and can be just as good a daddy as any.
My sexual orientation has nothing to do with whether I make a good father.
People of faith have no right to use their religion to stand above the law. Dr Sheila Matthews' objection is not based on 'medical' advice. It is based on an opinion. An opinion which is hurtful, hateful and is neither fair on children who need good homes, nor rational to potential parents. I used to be Christian until I realised Christians today are one of the most judgemental & hurtful people around.
God would be ashamed of his flock today.
