Banner day in FR, huh?
Last I checked, Catholic Charities helps all of God's children, not just some, like this outfit.
Diocese of Tulsa Adoption Services
Excerpt:
Criteria for Adoption We will not consider anyone who has ever committed, been arrested or convicted of any crime relating to domestic violence, child abuse or neglect of any child or other person. Criteria for a domestic adoption:
1) The couple must be at least 21 years of age and no more than 45 years difference between the age of either spouse and the age of the child.
2) The couple must be married in the Catholic Church.
3) The couple must be married at least five years. If you have not been married five years, your application may still be approved. However, a home study will not be initiated until the required five years have passed.
4) At least one spouse must be a practicing Catholic.
5) The couple must have no more than one child due to infertility problems.
6) Couples must reside in the Diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma, the eastern most thirty-one counties in Oklahoma.
Note: One or more of the above requirements may be waived if adopting a special needs child.
So my memory was correct. This is not unusual. I don't like it from either side, though.
Catholic Charities is Catholic enough for this Catholic. Not that I object to their helping everyone, it's that they help without trying hard enough to teach Catholic values, and they employ workers who are at odds with the Church. I think Bethany is wrong to think Catholics are not Christian, but they are very right to place children with Christian parents.

They have a big problem with Freedom and self defense. They sued to get MN's concealed carry law overturned, for instance.
