Unwritten rules on adoption

Topping the news output less than a fortnight ago was the story that a couple from Rotherham had had their foster children removed due to their UKIP membership. With the Leveson enquiry underway, the BBC in crisis and numerous tense political and economic situations creating headlines elsewhere, the prominence given to this story is symbolic in more ways than one - the emphasis on this case and the way in which it was reported suggested national sympathy for the couple and condemned the actions of the care workers involved in the decision. Would members of the SNP be treated in the same way by Scottish adoption agencies?
