Easier Adoption and Foster Care: Protecting Parental Rights

New rules aim to prevent discrimination against adoptive and foster parents. Federally funded agencies cannot deny child placements based on parents raising a child consistent with their biological sex, refusing consent for gender-altering treatments, or declining to amend documents against a child's biological sex. This ensures more children find homes and parents' upbringing decisions are protected.
Key points
No discrimination in adoption and foster care: agencies cannot deny placement based on parental decisions regarding a child's biological sex.
Parental protection: parents will not be penalized for raising a child consistent with their biological sex, refusing consent for medical gender alterations, or declining to amend a child's documents against their biological sex.
Definition of sex: the act clearly defines sex as biological, male or female, based on the reproductive system.
