There's nothing Christian about blocking adoption

Coming soon to Florida: A scared and lonely child denied an adoptive home, some loving couple denied their dream of starting a family -- all in the name of Christianity.

Under a bill that just passed the state house, state-funded adoption agencies will be able to deny child placement to single mothers, gay and lesbian couples, or any other family which the agency objects to on the basis of "religious or moral conviction."
 
Right-wing Christians are calling this "the official beginning of the battle for religious liberty and religious freedom in the state of Florida." But no one who follows Jesus should want to keep children in need away from loving families.
Sign the petition:

Jesus taught us to love and care for children in need, not to use them as pawns of a hateful political agenda. Please oppose the "Conscience Protection for Actions of Private Child-Placing Agencies Act," which would needlessly prevent adoption into loving and caring homes.
