Church roles - subsidizing adoptions or helping to preserve families?

I would say that they do both where possible. I was on the chapel committee a few years ago, filling roles from secretary up to chairman and we never had anyone come to us with a request for istance in an adoption matter but I'm sure if they did then it would have been essed on it's own merits. At the same time though, we did donate plenty of funds to everything from local food banks and soup kitchens to various family support programs run through our local community center. This particular chapel was lucky in that it was a military chapel and therefore fully supported so that virtually 90% of what we collected was sent out in community. In essence we did support programs to keep families together and at the same time we would have been prepared to support those trying to adopt.
