Judith and Alan Kilshaw, the couple who were recently at the centre of an Internet adoption scandal, have admitted they have already been offered another baby, and plan to adopt again.

The couple from Buckley, North Wales, are planning to return to the US to adopt another baby, after a High Court ruling stated that the twins, Belinda and Kimberley, must return to America.

The Kilshaws paid a broker over the Internet £8,200 for the twins in January, but their joy turned to despair when the twins were taken off them, and last month they announced their decision not to appeal.

In protest, Mrs Kilshaw, 47, has vowed to stop paying taxes as a mark of protest against the "establishment", who she blames for her unsuccesful fight ot keep the twins.

She said: "The conspiracy of the British Government, the Welsh Assembly and Flintshire Social Services manifested itself in the taking of the twins.

"If Alan had been in the Government or if we had been actors or actresses the twins would not have been taken. I'm not propping up a conspiracy. I'm not paying a thing in taxes. I don't care what they do to me any more. I've got nothing they can damage or take."

Mrs Kilshaw added that if she had been in Rhyl when an egg was thrown at Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, he would have received a "bump he would not have got up from."

The Kilshaws plan to return to the US as soon as they can afford it, and may move either there or continental Europe.
