Barry Moore on Families & Children |
Analysis by HRC.org: The bill enshrines discrimination into Alabama law by allowing some state-licensed adoption and foster care agencies to reject qualified prospective LGBTQ adoptive or foster parents based on the agency's religious beliefs. HB24 allows state-licensed child-placing agencies turn away qualified Alabamians seeking to care for a child in need -- including LGBTQ couples, interfaith couples, single parents, or other parents to whom the agency has a religious objection.
