Adoption agencies are doing a spectacular job across the United States and we should be applauding them, rather than hindering them with further government intrusions and restrictions.

As a Virginia resident, home to many of the founders of our Constitution, I implore you to uphold and preserve the religious freedom bestowed upon us over two hundred years ago.  Please do not place restraints on adoption agencies that wish to continue their great work, without having to compromise their religious beliefs.  This would be detrimental not only to our Constitution as a whole, but to the innocent babies and the loving parents that they are joining together as a family. 

Thank you for your hard work and the very seriuos decision that is before you on this day.

Sincerely,

Lisa McNerney
