Hey there Oz - so sorry this happened to you! I'm Jewish too. Adopted first time internationally, planning on doing domestic the 2nd time.

There have been discussions here on the board in the past about agencies that don't discriminate based on religion. Maybe you want to go to the General Adoptive Parents thread, which gets a lot of traffic, and ask people to PM you with agency recommendations? They are definitely out there but can be hard to find.

What I find particularly odd about your experience is that she asked if you celebrate the Christian holidays, and THEN hung up on you. I'm Jewish, but part of my family celebrates X-mas so yes, I celebrate some Christian holdays as well. Ummmmm . . . would that have somehow made me more acceptable to this agency? I go to a Synagogue and my daughter will get Bat Mitzvahed, but one day a year we go to a house with a Christmas tree and somehow I now fit your criteria? Very odd to me!
