According to this link to the Advocate, http://www.advocate.com/news_detail_ektid27848.asp, the Roman Catholic Church's addoption program has chosen to end its contract with the state to avoid being forced to place children in loving, married households if the couple in question is of the sme gender. This follows a rejection, I believe unanimous, by the board that oversees the program of the proposed ban by the Church and the resignation in protest of several members. The truley tragic thing is that it will be children seeking homes who will be the victims of this policy.
