Hello,

that is SOOOOOOOOOO unfair!!!,,,,,,,and it seems total B*******!!!! Yes, there are those few that are totally unworthy of bringing up their own children whether that be through child abuse or whatever,,but have more than that foot square.....so WHY do social services think they have the right to dismiss a case due to some mis spacing rather than consider the quality and dedication an adopted parent (s) can give regardless!!!.who knows.its apalling!!!!!

Especially since most children have to live in less a square space but surely its the love, loyalty and common sense of those that want to adopt that can give to children that need to be adopted that should be the most priority that should be considered that is most important.

What do social services want..ALL potential adopted parents to live in a mansion and have millions in the bank to pay for their fee????!!!!

I know there are formalities but it is sometimes the lack of common sense through social services and lack of reality through the government!!!!......and despie their perception, there are those that have equal intelligence that should not be fobbed off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..AND for those that should have the opportunity to adopt a child regardless of space!!!!!!!!!!.......would they penalise those 'natural' parents that had less of a space!!!!.i think NOT!!!!!!!!
