Illinois Catholic foster care agencies lose another battle
Posted by on September 28, 2011
A Sangamon County, Ill., circuit judge said in a hearing Monday that he will not reconsider his ruling that the state need not contract with foster care and adoption agencies in the Roman Catholic dioceses of Belleville, Springfield, Peoria and Joliet.
An appeal is expected.
?My hopes will be an appellate court will grant us a stay and our case will be heard on all of its merits and the law, as it was intended, will be honored,? said Gary Huelsmann, director of Catholic Social Services in Belleville, which recently had 630 foster care cases on its books with the state.
The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services stopped referring foster care and adoption cases to Catholic charitable groups over the summer and said it is planning to move all existing cases to other agencies. [more]
