Philadelphia can exclude foster agency that won't work with same-sex couples: court

- Philadelphia can exclude a Catholic foster care agency from a program for placing children with foster families because it refuses to work with same-sex couples, a federal appeals court ruled on Monday.

Circuit Judge Thomas Ambro said Philadelphia was trying merely to stop what it considered a “clear violation” of a city anti-discrimination law covering sexual orientation, making a preliminary injunction inappropriate. Ten U.S. states let state-licensed child welfare agencies refuse placements and services that conflict with their religious beliefs, according to the nonprofit Movement Advancement Project.

I do believe same-sex couples should have the right to adopt. All kids should have a loving home. That said, wouldn't excluding a foster agency just make foster kid's lives more difficult?
