Recently I
read about some efforts by the ACLU in Michigan to challenge the status of Christian adoption agencies.
Many similar programs have been shut down across the country because of their practice of only adopting children to homes with a mother and father.** That is to say, not because they have bad track records or unacceptable waiting periods, but because their opponents claim they are employing arbitrary bigotry and bronze-age superstitions.
That’s what I want to look at today. Is there a defense to be made for these Christian adoption programs? Is there a way to challenge the assertion that they employ bigotry?
**(Wait a minute… abortion-rights-supporters always say Christians don’t care about children after they’re born. Why do all these Christian adoption agencies exist? That’s odd... )
