Excerpt:
Turkey has embarked on a campaign to retrieve children of Turkish immigrant families living in Europe who are fostered by foreigners, and instead place them in homes where their cultural identity can be preserved.
The step comes after a court in the Netherlands refused last week to return nine-year-old Yunus -- who had been taken into care by a Dutch lesbian couple -- to his biological Turkish family, reportedly citing the mother's inability to speak Dutch.
Turkey fears that children placed in Christian homes will forget their Muslim roots, and also disapproves of placements with gay couples.
