This proposal would remove federal rules that required child welfare agencies to place LGBTQI+ children in foster homes and group settings with adults who respect their sexual orientation and gender identity. Currently, federal guidelines steer states toward placements that affirm these aspects of a child's identity when possible. The change would affect foster care agencies and LGBTQI+ youth in the system, potentially making it easier for states to place these children with caregivers regardless of their views on sexual orientation and gender identity.
