Sharon,

Had to give this one some thought.

As far as immoral choices, I have to differenciate between condoning and 
informing.  For example, with abortion, I don't condone or condemn it. 
However, I do inform people that there is also adoption, if they can't or 
won't keep the child.  I give them agencies that will talk to them about all 
options.  As far as homosexuality, I don't get that as much.  HOwever, if 
youth feel they are gay and want to explore that, I again give them a 
variety of resources that will help explore whether or not to act on these 
feelings.

Keep in mind that I can't bring up God or Christianity unless the client 
does.  Though i've not lead anyone to Christ, I have talked aobut the 
importance of prayer as individuals adn a family.  This is usually in cases 
where a child is out of control.  Also encourage use of the pastor and 
church as supports.
