She doesn't dispute that she got to <em>hand-pick</em> her son's adoptive parents. The decision was 100% hers. As she explains it, the agency never coerced her to choose a family she'd be uncomfortable with.<br /><br />Her words: "What I am saying is that birth mothers have a right to choose." Which she received in full, along with new moms in open adoptions today.<br /><br />But, the fact remains that significant swaths of the USA are dominated by foster care and adoption agencies which exclude same-sex parents. So, Ms. Clemente wasn't just disadvantaged by the possibility of being offered an adoptive family she might not like... she (and the FRC) now feel destroyed by the possibility that one of her many options might have been LGBT or LGBT-accepting.<br /><br />--BoseBosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07622236620504753122noreply@blogger.com
