Two children will be adopted by a gay couple after their grandparents were told they were too old to raise them.

The grand-parents wanted to raise the five-year-old boy and his four-year-old sister, their heroin addict daughter's children.

But the pair, from Edinburgh, were told that at 46 and 59 they were too old.

They agreed to the adoption - then protested when they learned the children were going to two gay men.

The grandfather says he was told if he did not drop his objections he and his wife would not get access to the children.

He said: "It breaks my heart to think that our grandchildren are being forced to grow up without a mother figure.
