Can Atheists Be Parents? - TIME

After six years of childless marriage, John and Cynthia Burke of Newark decided to adopt a baby boy through a state agency. Since the Burkes were young, scandal-free and solvent, they had no trouble with the New Jersey Bureau of Children's Services—until investigators came to the line on the application that asked for the couple's religious affiliation.

hmm so the judge would have been fine with Satanists because they believe in a supreme being? (ok, they don't really, but the judge wouldn't know that)

What a bizarre and sad story.

And a sick fuck of a judge.

That's why foreign adoptions are always better.

How peculiar. There seems to be quite a number of forums all over the web that have just recently posted this...and all discussing it as if it was current news,
when it was 40 years ago.

What wingin' jaberwocky pulled this out to play See What They Say with it?

Damn...I should have thought of looking at the date of the article.

Do their genitalia not work once they decide that they do not believe in God?

Looks like it all worked out just fine:

Adoption Agency - American Adoptions, Adoption. International, Domestic, Child, Baby, Infant, Adoption, Adopt, Adopting, Adoptions


But what is quite baffling is WHO punched this out across the web (As it is spreading from forum to forum quickly)

WHO?

What purpose?

Same kind of people as always.

Someone with an axe to grind that isn't above deception and lying. Could be coming from either side of the great divide.
