The problem isn’t a shortage of agencies. The problem is a shortage of families. And allowing agencies . . . to turn away lovely families – that only makes the shortage of families a bigger problem.”iii. Tell: These adoption agencies only prompt Christian values and moral, and they make their choices only on sexuality orientation of the parents and their Christian morals and values.H.
