Elton John and his partner David Furnish couldn't get permission to adopt a 17-month-old HIV-positive boy from the Ukraine last year, but they aren't giving up just yet. The couple are committed to finding the boy and his three-year-old brother a permanent place to live outside of the orphanage where they are now.David told Closer magazine: “We are going to find a home for those boys in the Ukraine. We will get them a home as it would be a long uphill battle to bring them over here.”
Elton, 62, and 47-year-old David’s adoption bid was halted because same-sex marriages are not recognized by the Ukrainian government, and according to the country’s laws, Elton is too old to adopt. However, they pledged to support the youngsters by paying for their education and healthcare.
Meanwhile, David has also revealed he and Elton did not have an extravagant Christmas, despite their reputation as big spenders. He said: “I got Elton a piece of art. We have a one present rule at Christmas. We don’t want it to be about stuff. We like to spend time with one another. We need the rest!”
