Vulnerable children must come first in adoption row

St Margaret's Children and Family Care Society has been finding homes for vulnerable children since 1955.

It righteously places hundreds of children in secure and safe environments year after year. But charities are running on extremely tight budgets due to the poor economic climate and if St Margaret's loses its tax benefits, as you report, this might be the final nail in the coffin ("Adoption agency in gay row", The Herald, January 24).
