Think the special needs part is the worst out of it all. Kids who already have been dealt a shit hand in life getting an even worse deal. Sometimes I feel the urge to fedpost so hard thinking about those people.
I feel so ashamed by my own opinions some 15odd years ago where I argued with a friend(who was in childrens education) about adoption rights of gays, he was not for it and I was pretty neutral to open about it. My opinion shifted around 2016ish, I still remember these thoughts to this day and wish I could tell the friend(who I entirely lost contact with) my change of heart.
There are cases where it's a lesser evil. For example, my great grandmother who was 16 when she gave birth to my granddad, and spent three years trying to create a home in which she could raise him, only to fail.
Granddad had a very rough time in his adopted home, but it was still a better situation than being a fatherless bastard in a city in the mid 1910's.
I was adopted (when I was a baby) by a wonderful couple in the suburbs. I've had a great life (raised in a Christian setting) and wouldn't change it for anything.
Imagine giving your kid to a Christian adoption agency, only for them to be handed to pedophiles.
Can I hit the Gary Plauche button yet?
I hope I'm on your jury, and that I'll get a chance to shake your hand when you're exonerated.
Why is a Christian organization adopting children out to queers
"Christian" in the same way the National Institute of Health is about "Health".

Same. I used to support it. Feels bad man.
(not that bad though because I snapped out of it relatively quickly)
There was a lawsuits and the organizations lost. This is why so many churches dropped their adoption services.
They see a hole and take it is kind of their MO.
Imagine giving up your kid for adoption at all? I can't.
Adoption is evil.
Adoption isn't evil. Giving up your kid for adoption is evil.
