Adoption Facilitation: Prohibiting Discrimination Against Adoptive Parents
This new act aims to streamline adoption and foster care processes. It prohibits federally funded agencies from delaying or denying child placements based on a parent raising a child consistent with their biological sex, refusing consent for gender-altering treatments, or declining to amend documents inconsistent with the child's biological sex. This ensures more children find homes and parents are not discriminated against for these specific reasons.
Key points
Adoption and foster care agencies receiving federal funds cannot deny placement based on a parent raising a child consistent with their biological sex.
Parents cannot be discriminated against for refusing medical or surgical treatments intended to alter a child's appearance or validate a child's perception of sex if inconsistent with biological sex.
The act protects parents who decline to amend a child's government-issued identification documents in a manner inconsistent with their biological sex.
Sex is defined as biological sex: male or female, with precise biological definitions for each.
