NewA way out

It’s not an easy thing to do, but if Christians would do the adopting, the likelihood of LGBT couples adopting would drop dramatically. I don’t think the legal decision here can, at least for the reasonable short/medium term, be anything else than what Obergefell tells us.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.

NewProblem for adoption agencies

The problem isn’t so much for adoptions as it is for agencies who can’t choose not to adopt out to gays. The Michigan AG is making a national reputation and was part of the team that worked the Obergefell suit.
