But the Ukrainian authorities are saying: gay adoption not welcome. You never know though, with people like this. They can find a way round anything.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Do they know what they\u2019re doing?<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0An Edwardian lady was dressed for church. She thought some matching children would be charming and sent for one in blue and another in yellow. At premieres Joan Crawford (now known to have been a wicked mother) always released her children from the limo a good while before she herself emerged. She then made a huge performance of greeting and kissing them as if she hadn\u2019t seen them for ages.\u00a0 Nicole Kidman, at a charity premiere of <em>The Hours<\/em> I went to with the Multis, petted an adorable child but, owing to her frockage and shoes, was unable to walk unassisted.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Children can be a delightful decorative adjunct.\u00a0 And the best sort of children are camp and crazy and unlimited and fit perfectly into the Poor Little Rich Gay scene. Only on Sunday I visited the blond Multi\u2019s mother. After lunch seven thousand of her ten thousand grandchildren appeared. One had made a cake like a fantastical sea-creature. It was chocolate studded with alarming bright blue chips, fruit pastels and edible snakes. There were two boys of outstanding eccentricity last seen by me as triumphant, under-age (and I mean about three or four) drivers of quad-bikes at high-speeds.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0But this plan of the Eltons won\u2019t do. Don\u2019t forget Mottram and Robert Nevil and I are familiar with the orphanage world. I can just imagine the scene. These children are very affectionate as well they might be, being starved of affection. But to uproot one and put it in that girls\u2019 school. I don\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0It\u2019s hard to believe they\u2019ve thought the whole thing through.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0As it happens I don\u2019t approve of gay adoption. Children need a mother. But I\u2019ll admit the double daddy option is a better alternative to a children\u2019s home where no straight parents are available. \u00a0From the other side as it were, I fear this trend towards uniformity. What\u2019s the point of being gay if you\u2019re going to do all the things the straights do?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday 17th September 2009 \u00a0I\u2019m not well-disposed towards the Elton Johns. \u00a0That place they\u2019ve got near Windsor looks like a girls\u2019 school.
