Adoptions
 

In regards to the proposed changes in the faith based adoptions agencies, I feel the change would negatively impact the adoption process if an agency were forced to accept all applicants.  My chiltd was born into a Christian environment and raised in a Christian orphanage.  Ideally, it made her transition much easier.  I feel that choosing an agency is a free choice, and I choose a faith based organization that allows me to feel comfortable with a full range of emotions with adoption and the counseling that is needed.  Please allow me to continue this.
