Title: Flamingo adoption
Post by: Cherry_Ripe on May 22, 2007, 03:34:23 pm

From BBC News website:

 

A pair of same sex flamingos have become foster parents after adopting an abandoned chick in Gloucestershire.

Carlos and Fernando had tried to start their own family by stealing eggs from other flamingos at the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) in Slimbridge.

But their sitting and hatching skills impressed staff so much, that when a nest was abandoned last week, they were chosen to "adopt" the chick.

The new flamingo family is said to be doing well.



Aw how cute. And I love the names of the new parents Big%20smile

Hopefully if this goes well then adoption agencies for humans might make things a bit easier for same sex human couples to foster and adopt too.
Good parents are good parents whatever their sex surely?
