"If they want to place children in the homes of same sex couples, they should form their own adoption agency.
I'm guessing most mothers-to-be would prefer to work through the catholic agency."
Yes, which is exactely why they won't do that, of course. They know they can't actually compete in the realm of ideas, so they try to either shut down the ideological competition or intimidate it into capitulating.

It would be instinctive for most biological mothers to think "I want my baby in a home with a mother and a father"
I would think the thought of a baby possibly winding up with a same sex couple would cause the mom to rethink adoption. It would lead to less babies for couples who want to adopt.
