Catholic Boy Fostered by Gay Couple

A ten-year-old Catholic boy is being placed in the care of homosexual foster parents against the wishes of his religious mother.

The child, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is due to arrive tomorrow at his permanent new foster home, a hotel in Brighton run by a middle-aged male couple.

In the latest row over gay adoption and fostering, social workers at Brighton and Hove Council, which has full custody of the child, decided his long-term placement last month.
