Leading Christian Adoption Agency Changes Policy, Will Now Work with Same-Sex Couples Nationwide

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A leading Christian adoption agency will now work with same-sex couples looking to foster or adopt children, in a change of its nationwide policy reported on Monday.

Bethany Christian Services, which is the largest Protestant adoption and foster care agency in the United States, has updated its inclusivity policy on matching children with same-sex couples. The new “nationwide policy of inclusivity” will “serve all families across Bethany's core service lines.”

In addition, the new policy also removes the agency’s 2007 statement that “God’s design for the family is a covenant and lifelong marriage of one man and one woman,” according to the New York Times.

After a 2019 lawsuit, Bethany Christian Services began placing children with same-sex couples in 12 states, including in Michigan. Its updated policy extends this practice to all of its locations in the United States. Meanwhile, Catholic adoption agencies in several states have closed rather than comply with mandates that they work with same-sex couples.

There’s nothing “Christian” about this organization.

The book of Romans is pretty clear about homosexuality. Guess these folks missed it.

The number of wins that the demons are racking up is astonishing, as well as the rate at which they are achieving them. We live in dark times.

Fixed it.

I have no problem with that. It’s stability. There are gay couples out there that are more stable than straights.

Sexual deviants are by definition unstable. Deviance isn’t static. It morphs constantly. That’s what it is.

Another “Christian” entity succumbs to sick and twisted culture of the day.

How can anyone trust them for genuine spiritual direction ever again? Churches and popes becoming no less sinful than the wicked.
It’s truly disturbing.

It’s abuse to relinquish custody of children to debased degenerates

“I have no problem with that. It’s stability. There are gay couples out there that are more stable than straights.”

If you have no problem with that, then you obviously don’t believe what God says in His Word.
