Sir Elton discusses adoption heartache

Candle In The Wind star Sir Elton John has admitted being ruled unsuitable to adopt broke his heart.
Sir Elton John has admitted being deemed unsuitable to adopt two Ukrainian boys broke his heart. Elton, and partner David Furnish, met the young boys while visiting an orphanage last year and revealed their intention to adopt. However, a government minister claimed Sir Elton's application would be denied as he was "not traditionally married" and too old. "There were too many laws that said we couldn't do it in the Ukraine and it broke our hearts because we fell in love with these kids," Elton explained during an appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show. "Life is all about learning, trying to change what you are. I think a child would possibly be the icing on the cake but, so far, no."
