ALLOW ABANDONED "BABY JOAN' TO BE ADOPTED BY PASTOR & FAMILY

I would like to say "THANKYOU" to each person who signed my petition. The support Pastor Beckenham has is truely admirable. I have decided to close the petition however, due to Pastor contacting me to say thank you, but also stressing firstly he would like Baby Joan to be encouraged back to her birth parents, and secondly the hype the media have created surrounding this incident.

I am closing the petition under the circumstances to show respect for Pastor Beckenham and his family during this difficult time. We all wish Baby Joan the best for the future...and hopefully to have a loving set of parents.
