The brother of tug-of-love adoptive mum Jenny Bramley said today he was "delighted" her fight to keep two foster children had been resolved.

Jeffrey and Jennifer Bramley, who went into hiding rather than return foster children Jade and Hannah Bennett to care, have now offifically adopted them.

Mrs Bramley's brother David Bodle, of Church Road, Fordham, said today: "I am absolutely delighted it couldn't have come at a better time of year. It has been a long time coming."
