Excerpted from San Francisco Catholic Adoption Staff to Work With Gay Friendly Agency, by Hilary White, published Aug 8, 2006, by LifeSite News:

The Boston Globe reports that five months after Boston Catholic Charities removed itself from adoption services after pressure from homosexual activists, San Francisco Catholic Charities has found a compromise in handling cases of adoption of children to homosexual partners. In March this year, San Francisco Catholic Charities announced that it would be “reviewing” its procedures in regards to adoption to homosexuals in light of the shut-down of the Boston agency’s 103 year-old adoption work.

Brian Cahill, the head of the diocesan-funded Charities, told the Globe that three staff members will be working with a non-profit adoption agency, California Kids Connection, that has no moral qualms about placing children in homosexual households.

San Francisco Catholic Charities announced on August 2, that the compromise had been provisionally approved by San Francisco’s Archbishop Niederauer.

The Catholic Charities of San Francisco has long been criticized by faithful Catholics for its eagerness to cooperate with the homosexual movement. It was revealed in March of this year that the director of programs and services of San Francisco’s Catholic Charities is an openly gay man who adopted a daughter four years ago with his homosexual partner.

Glen Metola admitted that his homosexuality and his status as an adoptive father were well known at the agency.

Regina Griggs, founder of PFOX (Parents & Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays) writes:

Do the initials “PTA” bring to mind innocuous parent-teacher meetings and parent-student school projects? Think again. The national Parent Teacher Association, fondly known as PTA, is under the leadership of chief executive officer Warlene Gary. Ms. Gary previously served as the National Education Association’s human rights director and that school union’s liaison to gay interest groups.
