This bill in Georgia is called the "Keep Faith in Adoption Act." I am reminded of a heterosexual couple I knew from a UU Church in Tuscaloosa, AL back in the early 90s, who tried in vain for several years to adopt a child, any child, locally. They were turned down repeatedly for the sole disqualifying attribute that they were not Christian. They finally had to go international, a more expensive and complicated process.
Adoption agencies in this country, largely private, already have broad latitude to set their own policies. So if what if all adoption agencies oppose adopting to singles, or divorcees, or gay or tans couples, or atheists. Where does that leave these would-be parents, short of the option of starting their own more agreeable agencies, an impossibility for most, to be sure?
Your thoughts?
The two children that I gave up for adoption were private adoptions. You don't necessarily have to go through an adoption agency.
That's great, but the would-be adoptive parents are still going to have a hard time knowing how to connect with those private non-agency-connected individuals.
Funny you should say that as I see ads all the time in newspapers from want to be parents looking for a child to adopt.
Pretty hard to argue that this Isn't religiously based government policy-making action.
