As succinctly put by Advancing American Freedom , a think tank founded by former Vice President Mike Pence, the proposal "Would violate the religious freedom of foster care families and ultimately make the shortage of families working within the foster care system worse."
STATES SHOULD WELCOME RELIGIOUSLY MOTIVATED FOSTER PARENTS. Nov. 27 was the deadline for comments about the "Safe and Appropriate Foster Care Placement Requirements," a rule proposed by President Joe Biden's Administration for Children and Families, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services.
It is yet another manifestation of the Left's obsession with sexual behaviors and "Identities." It would prevent states from using child adoption agencies, most of them faith-based, that do not accept leftist dogma about clothing choices and "Pronouns" for "Children in foster care who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, as well as children who are non-binary, or have non-conforming gender identity or expression."
The attorneys general draw the unavoidable conclusion: "Without faith-based organizations and foster homes, the foster care system would face a critical lack of placement options."
As the attorneys general also write , the religious-liberty implications of the proposed rule are profound: "This proposed rule seeks to accomplish indirectly what the Supreme Court found unconstitutional just two years ago: remove faith-based providers from the foster care system if they will not conform their religious beliefs on sexual orientation and gender identity." And: "The proposed rule is unconstitutional because it discriminates against individuals and organizations of faith who want to serve children in the foster care system. The proposed rule also unconstitutionally forces speech on foster providers."
By eliminating so many providers and families from consideration, "The proposed rule will harm LGBTQI+ foster children by limiting their family setting options." Instead of being placed in families that might provide a nurturing atmosphere, they would probably be placed in "Congregate settings" that would not give them individual attention or familial love.
Willingness to love a child, not subscription to misconceived leftist gender ideology, is what makes a good adoptive or foster family.
