Movement Advancement Project | Foster and Adoption Laws

Foster care non-discrimination laws protect LGBT foster parents from discrimination by foster care agencies and officials. Some states explicitly restrict foster care by same-sex parents. Other states ban adoption by unmarried couples, effectively resulting in a ban on foster care by same-sex couples if marriage for same-sex couples is not available in that state. 

Utah prohibits unmarried couples from fostering. Michigan, North Dakota, and Virginia permit state-licenses child welfare agencies to deny foster and adoption services to youth and families. Although Obergefell v. Hodges means same-sex couples can legally marry and therefore access joint adoption across the country, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services is currently not permitting same-sex couples to jointly adopt from foster care. 

For additional information, contact Family Equality Council, Human Rights Campaign, or American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

Movement Advancement Project | Tipping the Scales: The Coordinated Attack on LGBT People, Women, Parents, Children, and Health Care

Tipping the Scales: The Coordinated Attack on LGBT People, Women, Parents, Children, and Health Care analyzes the mounting legislation and litigation across the country orchestrated to undermine nondiscrimination protections, comprehensive health care, and the regulations administering social and public services by inserting exemptions into the laws based on religious or moral beliefs.

The freedom of religion is one of our nation’s core values, that’s why it’s already protected by the US Constitution. A new report MAP outlines the disturbing shift across the country towards passing religious exemption laws that give business, service and healthcare providers, government workers and individuals a license to discriminate against others by citing religious beliefs.
