The first British man to use his own mother as a surrogate has been granted custody of his son.
A High Court judge ruled that, given the circumstances, Mr Casson, who is homosexual, and his son Miles were legally brothers as well as father and son. This allowed Mr Casson to lawfully adopt Miles, circumventing the UK requirement that a child be adopted by two parents. This incident exemplifies the way in which adults' rights are being put before the wellbeing of children.
