Gay Rights Hinder U.K. Adoption, Westminster Archdiocese Will No Longer Place Children
EWTN ^ | 29-June-2009

Posted on 06/29/2009 12:18:35 PM PDT by Pope Pius XII

LONDON, JUNE 26, 2009 (Zenit.org).- New gay rights legislation in Great Britain has forced one of the oldest adoption agencies in the nation to cease providing key services.

The Catholic Children's Society of the Archdiocese of Westminster announced last week it will cease placing children with adoptive and foster parents due to the enactment of the Sexual Orientation Regulations -- part of the 2006 Equality Act -- that stipulates that same-sex couples should be given equal consideration as prospective parents.

The agency, founded in 1859, said complying with the new regulations would go against Church teaching on marriage and the family, reports the Catholic Herald today.

The same regulations also caused the closing of the Catholic Children's Rescue Society of the Diocese of Salford last year.

. . .that stipulates that same-sex couples should be given equal consideration as prospective parents.

No problem. They get equal consideration. Place children only in stable homes with a mother and father, because all studies show that is the best situation. That should take care of things.
