“The Biden Administration is proposing a rule that is unconstitutional, without authority from Congress, It also requires potential foster parents to undergo training to develop “knowledge and skills to support the needs of LGBTQ children.” The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) A couple has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Children and Families (DCF) for rejecting their application after they passed a home study and underwent extensive training. According to their lawsuit, Mike and Kitty Burke were rejected because of answers they gave about gender dysphoria and a child’s sexual orientation. Mike, an Iraq War veteran, and Kitty, a special ed assistant, were denied even though they were willing to take hard-to-place children with special needs. “After months of interviews and training, and after years of heartbreak, we were on the verge of finally becoming parents,” the couple said in a statement. “We were absolutely devastated to learn that Massachusetts would rather children sleep in the hallways of hospitals than let us welcome children in need into our home.” 2022 DCF report, more than 10,000 children in Massachusetts are under the care of the DCF. The ERLC is deeply concerned with the proposed rule as the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) distorts the term “safe and proper” foster care as provided in Titles IV–E and IV–B of the Social Security Act to cultivate a narrative that religious and faith-based providers are unable to provide adequate care for children in foster care who identify as LGBTQ. Not only is this factually untrue, but such a position is indicative of prejudice against faith-based foster care providers. In this regulation, HHS has proposed that states should only place children who identify as LGBTQ through foster care organizations that do not have certain religious views regarding human sexuality and gender. Such a proposed rule will cause undue harm to foster children that HHS has itself indicated are an “overrepresented” and under-resourced population. By needlessly limiting the pool of eligible foster care providers, it is clear that children who identify as LGBTQ, comprising approximately 30% of the foster care population, will be restricted from the care they desperately need, if such care that is provided by faith-based providers is eliminated or blocked as an option
