As a bith mother to an adopted child, I ask you to not impose new laws on adoption agencies. I was able to choose from three profiles of families who wanted my daughter. I chose the right one and part of the decision was to go to a normal family of a mother and a father.
Please don't hurt needy children by driving religious foster care and adoption agencies out of business. If an agency provides good parents for children, they should be embraced, not rejected by the state of Virginia.
The message of exclusion you will send to children with strong religious identities, as well as to potential foster and adoptive parents is unconscionable and destructive.
The state of Virginia Social Services has no right to impose this strange new morality on other people, to the detriment of the neediest children in our state.
