I think that at least one potential birthmom turned us down because I am Jewish. I was told by our agency that about a third of all potential birthmoms are looking for a practicing Christian family. Looking at the full half of the glass, two thirds seem to be more open in their religious preferences.

I have experienced that being a Jew is a show stopper in domestic adoption to some degree but not a total show stopper. Don't give up! I hope your potential birthfamily will turn out to be open. Let me know what happens.

Our birthparents are Buddhists and our religion played no role to them. Our son will be officially converted in the Mikveh tomorrow (yay!) but we will also expose him to Buddhism. That was not requested by his birthparents but we just like Buddhism anyway. :-)
