Elton will support Ukrainian boy he can't adopt
Tuesday, December 8 2009 |
DAvid says Elton was devastated that he wasn't allowed to adopt an HIV-positive Ukrainian toddler, but plans to support the boy anyway.
The 62-year-old pop star met 14-month-old Lev at a home for HIV-positive children in September 2009. But he was refused permission to adopt the boy because he was too old and not married.
David said on December 8, 2009 the couple was "massively gutted" by the rejection. He told BBC radio they were working to ensure Lev and his brother "have the best health care, education and family options available to them."
Elton and David tied the knot in 2005 in a civil union in Britain. Ukrainian authorities do not recognize gay unions as marriage. David said the couple would campaign for a change in Ukrainian law.
