Bill Introduced To Ban LGBTQ Bias In Foster Care And Adoption

The Every Child Deserves a Family Act has been reintroduced by two members of the House of Representatives. This bill would protect LGBTQ individuals and families who express interest in adoption and fostering children.

Representative Lewis stated that:

"Many adults want to open their homes and their hearts, but they also are facing more and more barriers, because some officials can say they practice the wrong religion, love the wrong person, or are not married. The Every Child Deserves a Family Act puts the happiness and well-being of our children front and center, engaging every possible match between solid families and children searching for a home. We must each do our part to ensure that every young person and capable, aspiring parents are able to enjoy the dream of a loving, stable family together.”

The bill will also prevent any LGBTQ children from being forced to participate in any sort of conversion therapy.  

Many LGBTQ rights groups have called attention to the bill by praising it and the changes it proposes to make.
