  1. It seems that the Local Anger & demonstartion in the community regarding this young Muslim child being adopted by Lesbian White Couple has made the Council think twice.

    A reassessment of the case is on going. Thumbs up for the locals who showed up nd took direct action. Children should be placed with their relatives or people from the similar racial background.

    Adopted: Harrow council told the mother than no Muslim adopters were available

    A Muslim family have spoken out after a London council chose a white lesbian couple to adopt their three-year-old daughter.

    The Somali family, who cannot be named, have claimed Harrow council in London ignored offers from members of their extended family to take in the girl.

    They told the mother, whose two other children have been taken into care, that the couple had been chosen because there were 'no Muslim adopters available at all', according to a family member.

    The mother, who has mental health issues and child cannot be named for legal reasons.

    Ibrahim, a member of the family, complained that she was not kept informed about the adoption.

    He also told The Sunday Times that relatives had not been told why their bids to take in the child were rejected.

    Ibrahim said that the mother was told by letter that the adoptive parents had been found, and that she must say goodbye to her daughter at a meeting last Wednesday.

    But after a protest from 50 people outside the Harrow civic centre, the council offered to review the case and asked the family to submit alternative adopters on Friday.

    Susan Hall, the leader of Harrow council, said that while it is 'ideal' for children to be matched with parents of a similar background, that cannot always happen.

    She said: 'The reality is that the ultimate choice is governed by the kind of adoptive parents who are available', and that that 'dragging out' the process harms the child.

    A spokesman for Coram, an adoption agency which works in Harrow, said: 'When it is not possible to match a child with families from the same religious and ethnic background, a balance must be struck between managing the uncertainty... and casting the net more widely.'

    The Government has encouraged more adoptions to be approved regardless of ethnicity, religion of sexuality after figures showed some groups of children were taking much longer to be placed.

    Adoptions have risen to a 21-year high as a result, with 4,000 children adopted in 2012/13 - though backlog of 6,000 remains.

  2. ^ whats your proof in all these accusations . Non of what you said sofar has any credibility to it. More like a smear campaign . If you dont like her, that up to you we love her the world respects her . Nothing you or other haters say will ever take away all her hard work. Lastly what a great idol this lady is for young girls in Somaliland just looking at her career shows girls and boys that you can reach for stars and succeed like Edna.

     

     


  3. Hassan- No I just care Dont about clans- .

    Also why dont you address my other point. Why do you expect free treatment , many countries dont have free universal health care system.

    Do you you personal agenda to smear the good name of National Icon. A lady who has build a hospital trained nurses and help to bring the child mortality rate in Somaliland ,

    for me people like her should be celebrated and recognized for greatness .

  4. ^ I dont get your point mate- being poor or new to a country is one thing but being self defeatist is another . The somali community has many extremely bright and resourcefull students but the question will they step up and lead their bulsho . And dropping out of school is something which should not be accepted from anybody . As the slogan said - stay in school kiddo.
