We come to you with yet another important favor to ask: please urge your Representative, Senator and Governor Wolf to grant a religious exemption on the same-sex parent requirement for Catholic adoption services—commonly known as SWAN (State-Wide Adoption Network).
Gov. Wolf is preventing SWAN providers from denying placement to households with same-sex parents. That goes against what we think is best for the children—placing them in a home with a man and a woman as parents. Many of these agencies have either shut down or severely curtailed their operations as a result of the Governor’s move.
Several legislators are working on our behalf to have this religious exemption placed in the Human Services Code of the budget but it has proven to be a challenge.
