Mother moves to France to adopt boy

A MOTHER of four adult children is to swap her Cork home for one in France tomorrow so she can adopt a very bright little Indian boy born with only one limb.

British-born Maureen Attig, 52, and her retired Irish-American husband, Don, 68, who live in Donoughmore, Co Cork, are both considered too old under Irish and British law to adopt the five-year-old orphan.

But Maureen, who once worked in France, is planning to live and work there until she can adopt Tony under French law.
