When governments threaten to shut down faith-based adoption and foster care providers, kids are the ones who suffer.
Liberal activists have leveraged the power of government to drive out faith-based agencies in Illinois, Massachusetts, California, and Washington DC – a move that displaced thousands of children, placed additional strain on state resources, and reduced the options available to families seeking to foster or adopt. Now activist groups are targeting faith-based agencies in Michigan, Texas, and Pennsylvania.
If they succeed, children will bear the cost, as states will be left with fewer partners to address the influx of children into the child welfare system due to the opioid epidemic. Our country needs as many agencies as possible to meet the needs of America’s children. Please join us for a conversation on this important topic.
