As kids enter the system they should simply be assigned to whomever took the next number. No waiting on the part of the kids, and no discrimination at all. What could go wrong?

The state of Illinois is looking into allegations that several Catholic groups providing adoption services for the state illegally discriminate against unmarried and gay couples, a lawsuit filed on Tuesday showed.
In a March 8 letter to the charitable arm of the Diocese of Springfield, the Illinois attorney general's office said it was investigating reports the group "discriminates against Illinois citizens based on race, marital status and sexual orientation in its provision of foster care services."

A late congratulations to your cousins! Thanks for the answer. I personally believe if a young woman has made the honorable decision to carry the pregnancy, realizes that she can’t provide the type of life that she would want for that child then she (and the birth father when he is in the picture) should be the ones who feel comfortable with the people that are chosen. It is obvious if they go through Catholic Charities that they want religious people. Why in the world should they be told that their child HAS to go to a gay couple, a single woman etc...

**Then get out of the adoption business. Do NOT compromise because the stste says so.**
I don’t think the Catholic Church will compromise on this issue.
They are the one church that has stood firmly against same-sex unions, euthanasia, abortion, embryonic stem cell research, contraception.
The Catholic Church is for life. Period. Just as Christ was for life!
So are you saying you approve of two men raising a child?
Are you saying you believe in homosexuality which the Bible definitely says is wrong?
I saw his post as sarcasm.
Please read my post again. See if you detect the sarcasm that lastchance mentioned (although I’ll admit that today’s liberals are so absurd that it’s often impossible to distinguish them from a comedian’s parody).
