Under Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s leadership, the Health and Human Services Department has reversed a terrible Biden-era rule that discriminated against Christian families seeking to foster children.
For years, Christian couples who want to provide a solid, loving home for a foster child have been told they are not fit to parent solely because of their religious beliefs.
Specifically, the rule blocked couples from fostering kids if they oppose the left’s gender ideology for kids and transgenderism.
But, that all ends now.
The Trump administration on Tuesday formally eliminated a Biden-era foster care rule that sought to require children who identify as LGBTQ be placed with families willing to affirm their stated gender identity or sexual orientation. https://t.co/Ka5bJ7WyDM

Truly, this is such a win for both foster kids and the families who want to provide them with a safe and secure home.
No longer will parents who wish to help children in the foster system be forced to accept the cult of transgenderism to do so.
People reported further:
The regulations ended by the Trump administration on Tuesday, July 14, were put in place to ensure kids were placed in homes with supportive families and protected from abuse.
The rules were challenged in 2024 by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, now the Republican nominee for a Senate seat in November, and the Trump administration joined the effort after President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January 2025.
A Texas federal court ruled last year that the regulations were invalid because the Biden-era HHS lacked the authority to implement them.
When reached for comment by PEOPLE about the rule’s removal, an HHS spokesperson said, “The Trump Administration is delivering real results for children in foster care instead of defending unlawful policies, which is why we removed the Biden administration’s rule after it was invalidated by a federal court.”
“HHS remains committed to advancing policies that improve outcomes for foster youth, including bringing all 50 states into the Administration’s A Home for Every Child Initiative,” the statement continued.

In this Fox News clip, Kayleigh McEnany shared some stories of Christian couples denied the opportunity to foster children due to this backwards rule:
WOW! President Trump has OVERTURNED draconian rules that blocked Christian families from fostering children simply because the parents opposed transgenderism and gender ideology for kids
Common sense! 🙏🏻
“The Trump administration has taken a major step by officially removing a Biden era rule that required children who identify as a different gender to be placed with families that would affirm their identity.”
This comes after a Catholic family was DENIED fostering because they do not support gender operations on kids: “They lost their foster license after they reportedly refused to sign a gender affirming policy form.”
The transgender cult is losing!
