Fertility Awareness (Natural Family Planning (N.F.P.): Alternative to I.V.F. Go to www.lifefertilitycare.co.uk

Catholic care - was given permission by the High Court to apply to the Charity Commission for an exemption from the Law and limit its adoption services to heterosexual prospective adoptive parents. Catholic Care has argued that it is in the public interest that it continues its work to support children in need of adoption. The High Court considered that weighty reasons supported the use of the exemption from sexual orientation discrimination laws. On 18th Aug the Charity Commission held that the reasons put forward by Catholic Care did not meet the necessary threshold for exemption. The QC and Solicitor acting for Catholic Care are considering whether to recommend an appeal. There are two routes for this:-
a) to the attorney General (at no cost)
b) to an independent tribunal (at cost)
A spokesman for Catholic Care said, "The Charity is very disappointed with the outcome. Catholic Care will now consider whether there is any other way in which the Charity can continue to support families seeking to adopt children in need. In any event, Catholic Care will seek to register as an adoption agency offering a service to those who were adopted in the past and are now seeking information about their background, and also to support adoptive parents already approved by Catholic Care".
