Thank you all for your input!
My philosophy is that its my job to educate and expose my bdaughter to a variety of religious belief systems so she can make her own informed choice when she comes of age, so respecting and encouraging another child's beliefs is definitely not a problem for me. Actually I enjoy learning about the beliefs of others so that would only be a plus
I remain very concerned about private agencies as they are usually religious-oriented. I guess my concern isn't so much about any foster children that might come into our home - we are very accepting towards those of other faiths - but rather the loss of religious privacy it might cause me or my own family. As someone said, there goes any privacy we might have! lol
Much to consider - thank you ALL for your thoughts, I eagerly read every single one
