The reason Catholic adoption agencies are closing. The fed gov didn't tell them, they must adopt to homosexual "couples" Gov told them to adopt to homosexual "couples" or lose federal funding.

Not true. The states of Massachusetts and Illinois both told the Church that their agencies must include adoptions by homosexual couples. They were told that this was required by state anti-discrimination laws, not by their acceptance of government money.

Not true. You have misstated the facts. Private adoption agencies in the states you mentioned plus Washington D.C. and Washington state were informed that they were not in compliance of the law concerning agencies that were subsidized by the states, to either comply or lose government funding.

Every state that has a state Baptist Children's Home, is still very much in the adoption business and not a single one has ever accepted any type of government funding, state or federal and not a single one will adopt to homosexual "couples", they won't even adopt to single straights or non Christian married couples and their own investigators decide on who's Christian.

They adopt to main line Christians, Catholic and Protestant alike. No atheists or cultists need apply.

Not all Catholic adoption agencies have folded, some which have closed are making a come back on their own with their own money, I pray for their success.

My own support goes to the local Catholic Social Services and my state's Baptist Children's Home. My local Catholic Social Services hasn't been involved directly in adoptions that I know of but support unmarried pregnant teens with medical help and sometimes more direct monetary support, counseling them to carry the baby to term and helping them after the baby is born.
