Rick- I would have thought you would not fall into this sort of either/or  
reasoning given that it implicates the free market.  There is a free market  in 
the provision of services, including charitable services, and if a  religious 
organization drops out, others will step in.  To think that the  children will 
inevitably be hurt because CC follows its beliefs is to assume CC  is the 
only route.  It may have been a good route (I don't know), but it is  a huge 
mistake to think it is the only one.

I think Marci and Doug are spot on. The state, as in Rust,  says "this is our 
program, take it or leave it." CC says, "okay, we'll  leave it."  CC loses a 
part of its ministry, the state loses one of its  best adoption-service 
providers, and the kids stay in state custody longer  (and, for some, perhaps 
permanently, since CC was extra good at placing  hard-to-place children).
