Freep This Poll: Should Religious Agencies Be Allowed to Turn Away Gay Foster Parents?

Corynne Romine and Michelle Mascaro are adoptive parents of three children: David, 11; Emma, 13; and Joseph Romine, 9. When they adopted Emma, their child welfare agency hid the fact that they were a lesbian couple from Lutheran Child and Family Services that receives public money.

Ugh!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Let me get this straight: the government confiscates your money, then will only give some of it back to you if you submit to their (a)moral code.

Because after all, it's "public money."

Just because it was extorted from you doesn't mean you should have any say in anything.

I thought Black social workers tried to keep white parents from adopting Black children.

I guess if the White parents are two women or two men it doesn’t matter.

[silverleaf]

ah, so they lied to get a child ...

Russia Ukraine and China also forbid homesexual adoption
and even single parent adoption because gays lied to get kids

[BenKenobi]

Open and shut.

They hid. Why?

Why didn’t they confess that they were lesbians at the start of the process?

I suspect their answer to this question would be enlightening. If someone is willing to lie here, they are unfit to raise kids.

[dynachrome]

I think they are playing “lawsuit lottery”

[BenKenobi]

A winner!

My cousin’s cousin [her dad’s side...not related to me] was a lesbian and lived with her “girlfriend” who had 3 kids.

I visited that den of iniquity *once*.

Those were the most horrified, shell-shocked, depressed looking bunch of kids I’ve ever seen.

They knew “perverted” when they saw it and the oldest wasn’t even 14 yet.

While I waiting for my cousin to drop off whatever it was she was bringing them [I’ve forgotten] the one woman whipped out a magazine full of he-she photos and started to show it to me....while the kids were sitting there.

I’d never seen such abominations of [un]nature and literally had a panic attack and went out to my car to wait for my cousin.

Yeah, they’re “just like everybody else”.

33% to 67% Really needs a FReeping. If religious institutions are recognized for providing a valuable service to the community -- a community that is willing to support that institution in return with tax dollars -- the government has no right to force the religious institution to change its founding principles, principles that lead the creation of the valuable service in the first place. Government edicts would only serve to reduce the value of the service provided.

The spiral downward of this country is sickening.

Allowing homosexuals to adopt children is sexist and is denying the children the full spectrum of human interaction...particularly the interaction between men and women. It is sexist. Should never be allowed. Children will not be well rounded and they will grow up being biased against the sex that is rejected in the unnatural “union” which is never a true union....but nothing but a narcissistic lust.

Opposite sex unions are complementary and unite society and initiate children into the full spectrum of relationships which is denied and unnatural and limiting in homosexual homes. It is not only sexists, it is perverting the worldview from the Founding Fathers who based our legal system on Just Law which is always based on Natural Law Theory and God’s Law.

Children raised in unnatural homes will be conditioned to unnatural acts as normal and learn that the Bible is “hate speech”. So this preference of atheist/pagans is unconstitutional since it forces a belief system that rejects the government in the US where I rights come from God.

[I still care]

In England this week a couple was denied the right to foster because they were Christians who had traditional moral ideas about sexuality.

Yet over here we are being lectured to about how we should let lesbians adopt, when already states like MA have taken Christians out of the adoption business.

To paraphrase The Lord of the Rings, “There is only one master of the Ring, and he does not share Power”.

The left will whine about this, until they have gotten the right to adopt to every twisted person in this country, and then they will cut out the people of faith.

The homosexual agenda is part of the larger atheist/secularist/leftist agenda - their goal of destroying the freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution are being clearly revealed, and anyone who doesn't see this is being wilfully blind.

[RnMomof7]

In England a Christian couple were just turned down from being foster parents.. they would be a bad influence

I am reminded of this scripture

Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
