They specialize in LGBTQ adoptions. People will likely argue with me, but isn't it logical to adopt to a man and woman couple instead of a gay couple? The foundation of human life itself revolves around a relationship with a man and woman. I'm all for equality, but how is equality becoming more important than simple science? I for one am a pragmatic thinker; my view has NOTHING to do with prejudice or "hate speech".
edit: insanely ridiculous typos
edit 2: If your parents were both fathers you would grow up not knowing about what a mother is supposed to be, and what having a mother feels like, and vise versa. Male/female relationship dynamics could possibly never be learned, alienating the child in the most fundamental way. I believe that same sex parents is a natural occurence sometimes, but we shouldn't open up store and make laws about it
I'm not saying its wrong or right - just pointing out something about this company that set it apart from other agencies. I personally think that a child would be better off with two loving homosexuals (not transsexuals - that is a mental illness) than in the foster care system. But then it would be discrimination to say that gay couples can only have kids not adopted by straight couples. It's a sticky situation.
They've got something to hide obviously. This brings to mind Chief Justice Roberts who suddenly changed his legal opinion re Obamacare and people thought maybe it was because there was something very fishy about the adoption of his children that he didn't want to come out.
Seems very shady to close up so suddenly. And I found it interesting that one of the reasons they cite is a lack of birth families. I though that the justification for abortion over adoption is there just aren't enough people wanting to adopt a baby? Hmmm.
You'd be surprised. There are actually a lot of people who are waiting to adopt drug exposed babies and babies of other races. For my job I meet with these people to help them get licensed to adopt. Now you are correct on the older drug effected kids. Not a lot of people lining up to take that on.
I saw this a few days ago and started digging. I didn't come up with anything. I found some older reviews that said they were pretty much a scam - they would take your admin fees but not place a child with you. They were one of the largest adoption agencies that specialized in adopting to the LGBTQ community.

Is it becoming clear that Pedophiles are getting married and adopting kids in order to molest them, or worse ?

Not enough people want to adopt crackhead babies. They want nice white healthy babies.

Which moderator has flagged this as NSFW?

I'm not the OP. That is really strange though - maybe they just hit the wrong button?

My bet is a shill as mod.

You must be wrong because hundreds of Hollywood movies have clearly debunked the idea that anything may be wrong about the LGBTQ community.

Of course they might have been connected in the 400 arrests in LA the other day or its preemptive and now they start shredding all their papers...
