I think at one time before there was any such thing as Social Services it was probably solely a religious activity based on the Biblical admonition to care for widows and orphans. Probably long before it became an organised activity it would have happened on a smaller local scale.

I cannot see why the Catholic church can't be allowed to get on with dealing with all those difficult to place children which other agencies aren't as keen on and let the other agencies deal with the gay couples who they are keen on. It provides for all needs that way.
