A number of attorneys general, primarily from the Republican party, are challenging a recent policy implemented by the Biden administration. This policy, they argue, threatens to push away Christian families who have traditionally been mainstays in the fostering system, potentially destabilizing it throughout the country.

Steve Marshall, Alabama's Attorney General, led the charge by penning a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), warning them about the dangers of the new rule which he and 18 of his party colleagues believe infringes on constitutional rights and unfairly discriminates against individuals advocating the Christian faith.

As well as purported discrimination against people of the Christian faith, the attorneys general warn that this new policy may harm children by reducing the number of available homes for fostering. They caution that the new requirements could disturb family connections and increase the financial and logistical burdens for states by limiting care options.

The rule in question, known as the Safe and Appropriate Foster Care Placement Requirements, obligates foster parents to recognize and use the child's chosen pronouns, name, and self-identified gender expressions. The guideline also requires that the child dresses in a way that they believe reflects their true, self-identified gender identity.

This policy, according to the attorneys generals' joint letter, attempts to indirectly bring about the same disruptive effects that the Supreme Court found unconstitutional two years prior. This potentially controversial shift could force faith-based providers out of the foster system if they refuse to adjust their religious beliefs regarding sexual orientation and gender identity.
