Boston Catholic Charities Halts Adoptions
By STEVE LeBLANC Associated Press Writer
March 10,2006 | BOSTON -- The Boston Archdiocese's Catholic Charities said Friday it would stop providing adoption services because of a state law allowing gays and lesbians to adopt children.
The social services arm of the Roman Catholic archdiocese, which has provided adoption services for the state for about two decades, said the law runs counter to church teachings on homosexuality.
In a 2003 document, the Vatican said gay adoption was "gravely immoral," and that children placed in such homes "would be deprived of the experience of either fatherhood or motherhood."
Um...aren't these kids now being deprived of either?
