Twin girls aged 14 and a half were to be adopted. They had substantial difficulties, and would require continued care throughout their lives. Their elder brother had lived with the same family, but later made allegations of abuse. These were unsubstantiated, but some distrust had developed between the adoptive parents and social services, and in particular the guardian ad litem. An adoption was to be granted, but subject to conditions which would preserve contact between the children and their elder brother and natural mother.
