Australia: Editorial: Adoption ban on overweight parents discriminatory
Courier-Mail – September 02, 2017
Our story today on how some Australians are being denied the opportunity to adopt children because they are too fat is not only disturbing but discriminatory. There’s even a case study of a 25-year-old woman who was told she could not adopt because her BMI was too high, despite having run three triathlons in the year prior and regularly attending the gym.
