It would be interesting to see if Gwilliam would choose to go out of business completely first rather than see gays be able to solicit adoptions.

According to this article, what the company decided (i.e. the BYU grad) is that they would not allow anyone from California to participate, in order to prevent gays from being on their site, and therefore complied with their settlement agreement.
In other words, they chose not to allow anyone from California participate, lest they have to include gays. |

I am not familiar with adoption procedures. Can the parents or parents who are giving up the child for adoption have any say in who adopts their child.

There are state and federal laws that prohibit discrinination by private citizens on private property. There is nothing new about that. I don't think the federal Civil Rights Act covers gays but many state and local laws do, and certainly in California.
