Michigan: state-affiliated adoption agencies must allow LGBT couples to adopt

“As part of a settlement, Michigan agreed Friday that state-contracted adoption agencies must follow non-discrimination requirements and allow LGBT couples to adopt or foster children.” - Jurist

It’s not an easy thing to do, but if Christians would do the adopting, the likelihood of LGBT couples adopting would drop dramatically. I don’t think the legal decision here can, at least for the reasonable short/medium term, be anything else than what Obergefell tells us.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.

The problem isn’t so much for adoptions as it is for agencies who can’t choose not to adopt out to gays. The Michigan AG is making a national reputation and was part of the team that worked the Obergefell suit.
