Children of Same-Sex Couples: A Turning Point (20
February 2015)
"I am a professor. Among the many
faces of academia, hiring season is exceptional. Everyone in the
department pretends that we are completely collegial and endearing,
while job candidates arrive and audition for us. We go out to lunch
with the aspirants and small talk ensues. This time around, many of
my colleagues courted the candidates by musing about their
childhoods over dinner..."

Children of Jephthah Speak
Adult Children of Gay [sic] Parents Testify Against Same-Sex
'Marriage' at 5th Circuit (13 January 2015)
"Recounting childhood memories of
households made deeply dysfunctional by their parents' sexual
appetites and the radical subculture that went along with their
'gay' identities, all four argued that redefining marriage to
include homosexual couples will likely lead to the exploitation and
abuse of countless children for political and personal gain..."

A Child's Right to be Loved (09 April 2018)
"Today, ... parenthood is
increasingly seen as a self-standing (human) right in the same sense
as a right to free speech or property. Its joys must be available to
all; any refusal of them, even on the basis that the normal parental
bonds might not apply, is likely to infringe the right to family
life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. It
is not hard to see that by doing this, we are in grave danger of
severing the right to bring a person into existence from the claim
of that person to a naturally loving upbringing..."

Is Gay [sic] Adoption Wrong? The Children Say Yes
(26 November 2017)
"Social services and judges in our society commend gay
[sic] adoption as a matter of gay [sic] rights and not as a response
to children's needs. Social services, so reluctant to remove Elsie from
Scully-Hicks, did not hesitate in the case of a Christian
heterosexual couple, Vincent and Pauline Matherick, who had fostered
28 children. Officials took from them an 11-year-old boy they were
fostering because they refused to teach him about homosexuality. But
in Elsie's case, social workers were terrified of questioning the
dominant orthodoxy that same-sex couples make equally good or better
parents. This myth is based on 'fake research'..."
Officials Investigate Why Gay [sic] Murderers Were Fast-Tracked...
(21 November 2017)
"When there is a problem in the
home of a child, the courts tend to find someone else functional
within the same family to care for the youth. This is both common
and logical unless of course there is a PC agenda tied to gay [sic]
rights nonsense in play. In that case, the rights of the family are
unwelcomed and it may even lead to the death of the child in
question..."
Cultural Marxism That Cost Elsie Her Life
(09 November
2017)
"Of course, no lessons will be
learned from the avoidable death of 18-month-old Elsie, because the
lessons that need to be learned conflict with the politically
correct beliefs which dominate the social work profession, the media
and the political class..."
The Disturbing Questions Raised By Poor Little Elsie
(09 November 2017)
"Most couples are warned that it
is unlikely that they will be able to adopt a baby of Elsie's age,
as tends to be the preference. Adopting a baby is hard and yet
Matthew Scully-Hicks managed it with ease. Could this be because he
was fast-tracked and, if so, why? ... What the Serious Case review
ought to look at is why, months after Elsie had begun to exhibit a
series of injuries, the social worker who visited didn't see fit to
do any sort of follow-up or checks..."
Birth Family: Baby Murdered ... 'Would Still Be Alive if She Wasn't
Taken From Us' (08 November 2017)
"In a piece looking at whether
'political correctness' played a role in the toddler's death,
newspaper columnist Sarah Vine cited a whistleblower at Elsie's
local child protection services, with 30 years' social work
experience, who suggested that the 'Scully-Hickses may not have been
vigorously vetted or challenged about Elsie's injuries because it
seemed such an attractive idea to place the child with a gay [sic]
couple'."

Family in 11th-Hour Legal Battle to Halt
Brothers' Adoption by Gay [sic] Couple (04
April 2009)
"Two young brothers face adoption by a gay [sic] couple despite the
desperate protests of their mother, grandparents and extended
family. The grandparents, an aunt and an uncle have all offered to
give the boys, aged six and nine, a loving home but they say social
workers have turned them down without explanation..."

We Show Tolerance to 'Gays' and get Tyranny in
Return (02 February 2009)
"We are forced to say that we think homosexuality is a good
thing, that homosexuals are equal in all ways to heterosexual
married couples. Most emphatically, we are compelled to agree that
homosexual couples are just as good at bringing up children as the
children's own grandparents. Better, in fact..."
Did the Children Torn From Their Grandparents
to be Adopted by the Gay [sic] Men Fall Prey to a Politically
Correct Social Services Agenda?
(31 January 2009)
"'We thought it was our duty as grandparents [to take in the
children]' ... Duty has become a forgotten word in Britain today,
and one, it seems, on which Edinburgh social services places little
value. ... 'they told me it was selfish wanting to look after the
children. How can it be selfish to want to look after your own
family?'..."
Council Standing Firm as Calls Grow For Gay
[sic] Adoption Probe (31
January 2009)
"The city council is resisting growing demands for an inquiry
into its decision to allow a gay [sic] couple to adopt two city
children against their grandparents' wishes. ... The grandparents
say they were told they must change their attitude and support the
decision to place the children with a gay [sic] couple or never see
the five-year-old boy and four-year-old girl again..."
Edinburgh Council May Be Probed Over Gay
Adoption (30 January
2009)
"Edinburgh City Council may face an inquiry over the decision
to place two small children for adoption with a gay [sic] couple
against their family's wishes. Social workers rejected the protests
of the children's grandparents, telling them to accept the decision
or lose access to the four-year-old girl and five-year-old boy..."

What Kind of Selfish Couple Would Want to
Adopt These 'Stolen' Children?
(30 January 2009)
"In Edinburgh, a five year-year-old boy and his four-year-old sister
are snatched from their grandparents and given to a gay [sic] couple
and there's barely a peep outside the pages of the Daily Mail. ...
[T]his story emerged in the week in which details were revealed of
the millions spent in the search for little Maddie McCann, who was
abducted almost two years ago and is still missing. On the face of
it, the cases have nothing in common. But stolen children are at the
heart of both..."
Enough Is Enough: Will You be Counted and Act
Today? (30 January 2009)
"How did we ever reach this stage in our society? ... There are
countless such stories in the UK, ... The power of the state is
truly scary, and frankly once on Social Services radar it seems no
parent is safe from having their children taken away from them and
put in care. ... I suggest a massive letter writing campaign drawing
attention to this tragic case might well provoke a reaction and
intervention from the government, but only if enough people
write Gordon Brown and his government..."

No-One Said Cherie Blair Was Too Old to be a
Mother at 45...Do Social Workers Have Grandparents?
(29 January 2009)

aged 46 and 59 respectively..."
To Place Children With Two Gay [sic] Men When
an Adoptive Mother & Father Are Available, Just to Uphold a Brutal
Dogma, Is Sickening Assault on Family Life
(28 January 2009)
"When homosexuality was legalised back in 1967, writes
Melanie Phillips, did anyone dream that some four decades on a
British grandmother and grandfather wanting to adopt their own
grandchildren would be refused permission and the children adopted
instead by two gay men?...
Social Services Prefer Gays [sic] to
Grandparents (28 January
2009)
"The decision by Edinburgh Social Services to take two small
children from their grandparents and have them adopted by a pair of
homosexuals was today criticised by Christian Voice. ... Social
Services talk about the 'best interests of the children', but it is
their interests and the interests of political correctness they are
more worried about. It will rarely be in the best interests of
children to be ripped from a loving, competent family and it will
never be in their best interests to be placed with a pair of
homosexuals rather than a heterosexual couple. It is hard to avoid
the adjective 'evil' when discussing a case of this kind, or when
reading about the kind of conduct these social workers have
employed..."
Jephthah's
Children: An Extract from the Preface
"This book is an uncensored chronicle
of everything that has gone wrong because of the movement to
normalise same-sex parenting.
"Brittany Klein and I ... have
firsthand experience with the seeming 'side issues' that became
entangled in the war for marriage 'equality'. Those side
issues ended up being more important than the legal status of
same-sex relationships; hence this book. We can help the
general reader understand why something viewed by so many as
beneficial was actually harmful to so many more. This book is
not just our story; it is our story plus a whole lot of other
people's stories, gathered into a broader picture of everything that
backfired. It offers a few theories as to why multiple
societies had such a lapse in judgment: Propaganda was
powerful. Complex issues were prone to oversimplification.
Sexuality was an easy proxy issue on which to project economic
frustrations ...
"Whatever views are held about
same-sex relationships, same-sex marriage, and in the UK civil
partnership (which preceded it), have been, and are, a social
disaster for the children affected. Same-sex marriage was
premised on falsehoods. It was pushed on unwilling
populations using nefarious tactics ranging from half-true
propaganda to criminal intimidation and racketeering. It took
protections away from the most vulnerable people in the world -
particularly but not exclusively children - and empowered the most
privileged people in the world ...
"It required changing laws, culture,
and global relations in multiple bad directions. Sex and
gender had to be uncoupled from one another, sometimes through
dangerous surgery, sometimes through Orwellian language policing.
Sexual choices and self-mastery had to be replaced by biological
determinism and peer pressure. Free will itself was
discredited in favour of being 'born this way'.
Self-determination was mandated (for transsexuals) or forbidden (to
ex-gays [sic]), depending on how one's urge to change oneself
matched the identity politics of opinionated elites.
"Ancient life cycles were overturned
for fashionable social theories less than a decade old.
Childhood had to be hyper-sexualised. Parenthood had to be
totally de-sexualised and replaced with systems of buying and
selling offspring. Science and academic research fell prey to
groupthink, false assertions, and consensus by duress.
Schools, courts, city halls, and popular culture faced catastrophic
reprisal if they did not agree to promote the fallacies used to
justify the same-sex marriage movement.
"The discredited logic behind
slavery, cultural genocide, and eugenics snuck back into the
zeitgeist, under the noses of the progressive critics who usually
felt most superior to the slavers, settlers, and Nazis who practiced
these historic evils in earlier times ...
"This book will show whom the
same-sex marriage movement and same-sex parenting have harmed ...
how children's most fundamental birthright - the right to their
mother and father, indeed their heritage - has been cast to the
flames to make a small gay [sic] lobby happy, and few on the left or
right seemed to notice or care ... the toll taken on vulnerable
parties in society, particularly women, because of the move toward
'reconstructing families' according to emerging LGBT consumer tastes
... the global effect of imposing same-sex marriage on multiple
continents, a process that enhances unhealthy power dynamics among
different races and classes ...
"A society that compels people
to think things that aren't true, say things they do not believe,
and live in fear of retaliation, is one that will lose whatever war
it thinks it is waging ...
"With the sleight of hand that yoked
marriage to parenting, a host of earnest questions became taboo.
What about the children placed in gay
[sic] homes who have
biological parents somewhere outside the home? What about
those excluded biological parents? What about the people
whose children are taken away by the state? What about the
cousins, grandparents, siblings, and neighbours who find eugenics
unethical, and who want to be tied to their kin? What about
people who cannot remain silent when they see children being
trafficked, engineered, or forcibly removed from their origins?
What about all of society, careering toward a future in which human
beings will be designed in laboratories and children will be bought
and sold? ...
"[T]he lesson is clear ... Parenthood
was designed to entail grown-ups sacrificing their own ambitions
and desires for the sake of children. Not the other way
around. War perverts everything, including the proper
configuration of parent to child ... [and] The sacred order of
society collapses in on itself ... Everyone loses out because
everyone is consumed with a distorted consciousness. ...
"The debate over same-sex marriage
was not really a debate. It was a war. Its polemic
rhythms paralleled blitzkrieg and social weapons of mass destruction
... To satisfy the gay [sic] movement's desires, same-sex marriage
had to be imposed on the entire world, a globe of seven billion
people. The argument over its implementation remains visceral.
The camps are tribal. Some of the tactics are as unscrupulous
and vicious as one would expect were we exchanging gunfire. ...
"Albeit mostly by force of judicial
fiat, the war has largely been fought and won for same-sex marriage
and parenting. During the fog of war, the gay lobby demanded
and was promised the right to have other people's children, as well
as the assurance that anyone who criticised gay
[sic] families would
be punished. Those rash vows can only be kept by hurting
people who will have to be sacrificed ... Will we allow the gay
[sic] lobby's obsession with marriage to seize our minds so much,
that we will be okay with sacrificing ourselves to the gospel of
'marriage equality'? If we go that far and offer ourselves up
as sacrifices, we are not only sacrificing ourselves. We are
sacrificing many others who stand to be hurt in the aftermath.
"It is easy to be rash. It is
difficult to be brave. It is shameful to be cowardly. We
must choose ... will we do the right thing?"
Jephthah's Children: A Review
"This is a very disturbing book.
Don't read it if you want to remain in your comfort zone and close
your ears to the cries of the little ones in the affluent West
suffering injustice. In our time God is calling prophets to
unveil the truth about the sexual revolution and its effects,
especially on children. Robert Lopez is such a prophet.
Like the author of the story of Jephthah's daughter ... like
Jeremiah and Ezekiel, he provides narratives that are raw and
unvarnished, revealing sometimes in just a few shocking lines the
depths of human sin. Lust, pride, cruelty, manipulation and
other examples of adult selfishness are relentlessly paraded.
The reader is often left asking: 'where is the happy ending? Where
is the redemption?'
"Tragically, for many of those
brought up in dysfunctional homes with lies, abuse and corruption of
innocence, there is only silent torment. But Lopez and other
narrators who have emerged from such situations, who have had the
courage to speak out about them, show in their own life stories how
even in the worst situations God is present with his judgment and
his transforming grace.
"Many people, even in the church,
still cling to the myth that Judaeo-Christian sexual ethics on which
our civilisation is based are somehow outmoded, prudish and
oppressive. This book shows, in a series of snapshots and
sharp comments, something of the destructive and toxic effects of
widespread sexual immorality, and how we desperately need to re-lay
the foundations by commending and modelling the biological family,
for the sake of our future" [source].
Social Care: A Poem
by
Anne Murray
[First published
here]
"It has
become apparent that, in this modern day,
our health and social services are rife with compliancy.
"And if you
dare to tell them, this system isn't right,
Prepare yourself for battle; you're going to have a fight.
"They twist
and turn the subject; to them we're all the same,
They will take away your dignity, and blacken your good name.
"Then
you'll be abandoned, to suffer a bureaucratic fate,
Targeted by the social sharks; that use our babies as bait.
"The
destruction of the family will be their only goal,
It has become apparent: the social care system has no soul"
Withdraw
Thy Foot...
"God gave children to parents,
not to
the State, to love, nurture, teach, discipline, and train up into adulthood. It does
not take a 'village' or the
'Collective' or State-run 'Care' homes to raise a
child; it takes a loving and biological/adoptive/foster family.
Please see the article
Communism and the Family for the ideology underlying the
'Collective'.
