Do you have a link to that law banning Jews and gays from adopting? You mention others that get banned from adopting too and I'd like to see who is in that list.

They can deny on the basis of anything they disagree with including things like religion and "political affiliation." In other words, if they don't like muslims, or jews, or democrats, those are perfectly fine reasons to deny adoption under the new law. Same sex couples were already barred from adoption in the state, but that didn't go far enough for the Christians.

Except we don't really have those any more most places. It's pretty much foster care these days, which is already overflowing.
