Since the UK is divided into four autonomous regions (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) there is no simple yes or no answer but the following links may give you an idea about what is going on.
First I have the Stonewall link "Equality & Justice for Lesbian, Gay Men and Bisexuals" The very first line says, "There has never been a law preventing lesbian, gay or bisexual individuals from adopting children".
And the second link is a recent BBC story:
"Magistrate in Gay Adoption Defeat
Andrew McClintock said he was concerned about children's welfare -
A Christian magistrate who says he was forced to quit the bench because he does not agree with adoption by gay couples has lost a discrimination case."

i'm really not entirely sure, but i remember some programme on bbc where a gay couple successfully adopted a ten year old boy. but maybe all made up, better to do research.
