Why Adoption Protection Acts in Kansas and Oklahoma Are Great News for Everyone

Summary

Catholic Charities West Michigan, one of the region’s largest social services providers, faces closure of its adoption and foster care ministry if it doesn’t change its policy prioritizing the placement of children in homes with a mother and father. Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is illegally targeting the child welfare provider because of its religious beliefs, despite the fact that Catholic Charities has served the region by offering a wide array of services for more than 70 years.
