New Illinois civil unions law pressuring Catholic adoption agencies

From EWTN News
If a new civil unions law in Illinois shuts down Catholic adoption and foster care programs in the state, it will ultimately be harmful to those children in need, the Catholic Conference of Illinois says.

Conference executive director Robert Gilligan said that an “impending clash between religious liberty and civil unions legislation” in Illinois could halt services provided to children up for adoption or foster care by Catholic charities and other faith-based groups.
My first inkling is that they should make an appeal to continue working without receiving state aid. Maybe on a reduced scale, but at least something.

But I am utterly confident that there would be some other excuse employed to force them to adopt out to homosexual couples.

Why can’t the Catholic adoption agencies deal in private adoptions?
Where birth parents can determine the adoptive parents based upon Religion and other factors?
Some states may not allow private adoptions.
There must be some way of not forcing birth parents to give a baby to those who oppose the beliefs of the Parents.

This law is a big fat “I told you so” to any Catholic who supported gay marriage.
