Our girls' birthmom wasn't give our home study to read. It was simply a legal document that the agency and the courts used. We did address our faith in our profile book, so any potential birthmoms would know what a significant part of our lives it was. If we were atheist, agnostic, Buddhist, Muslim, I would have revealed that.
As Brandy mentioned, religious affiliation is very important to a lot of people. Even a non-practicing Jew doesn't celebrate Christmas, right? If that's an issue for a birthmom, I can understand her not choosing a Jewish family.
I can see that on the surface this could be construed as discriminatory, but it's like anything else a birthmom wants for her child...be it a stay-at-home mom or a family with pets or anything else.
I'm so sorry that this is difficult for you, Yehudit. It sure doesn't seem fair, but I guess it is what it is. (And don't you HATE it when people say that? I do!)
