Elton John given new 'adoption' hope

Star could take family under his wing

Elton John and David Furnish married in a civil partnership in 2005

Elton John may be allowed to help bring up a Ukrainian boy he said he'd like to adopt.

The singer and civil partner David Furnish were told they couldn't adopt under the country's law.

But there may be a way for the couple to play a part in 14-month-old Lev’s life.

‘[Sir Elton] has the right and opportunity to invite the family of this boy to visit him, take them under his guardianship, and help him grow into a good person,’ Ukraine's family minister Yuri Pavlenko tells the Daily Mail.

Elton and David, 46, met 14-month-old Lev on a visit to a children's home in Makeyevka last week.
