The Supreme Court will decide whether Philadelphia is allowed to exclude Catholic services that refused to allow same-sex couples to become foster parents from the city's foster care system.
The court announced on Monday that it would hear the lawsuit brought by Catholic Social Services (CSS) and three foster parents against the city in 2018.

I hold little hope here...
Every study ever done shows kids do better in a home with 2 parents of opposite genders, and if they are raised in a single parent household they do better when that parent is the father... not the mother... but our entire family law presumes the opposite... so I hold little hope the court will be sane on this.
Only good for lawyers pockets and rat politician votes
"So ((ahem...)) therefore we're going to make the situation better by shutting down Catholic and other Christian agencies who work so hard to get these kids into normal families with a Mom and a Dad."
The whole point here is to shut down Catholic, Baptist, etc. adoption, foster and youth services. That is it. Reduce the number of agencies available, therefore force kids into gay households.
It's all for the children! Isn't diversity wonderful!
Giving little boys over to a pair of potential NAMBLA members? What could possibly go wrong? < /sarc >
I always find myself asking the same question: Why does a religious organization even WANT to deal with a government agency for adoptions?
Just ask Frank Lombard who taught at Duke University.
forced the de-licensing and shutdown of Catholic, Baptist, etc. adoption, foster and youth services in state after state.
"It's mandatory state licensing which has created a de-facto state monopoly in child and family services, whether state grants/subsidies/funds are a factor or not.
The only reason these “religious” organizations even bother with a licensing process is so they can collect government funds to facilitate adoptions and foster-care arrangements. Any REAL religious organization would handle their own adoptions without any government oversight. The human race has been doing it for thousands of years.
The state will shut down an unlicensed facility. I know it's hard --- it's hard for me --- to wrap my brain around that maddening fact.
Maybe I’m not understanding what an “adoption facility” is. If a church facilitates an adoption between a birth parent and adoptive parents who are all members of the congregation, then how does the state even know about it? Do you think the Amish use adoption agencies?
Thanks!
Are you planning to read them all?
Probably when I get time to do so.
There is always a legal procedure -— and as I understand it, documents to be notarized, court oversight -— in the transfer of legal parenthood from birth parents to adoptive parents. I know ALL births have to be registered so I assume adoptions have to be registered too, to establish that this cessation of parental rights happened freely and legally, and is not a baby sale or an abduction or whatever..
Whether the Amish use agencies I do not know.
Anybody know? FReepers?
