The Barker Adoption Foundation recently filed comments in opposition to a Federal Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, which if promulgated, would allow persons or organizations receiving grants from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to discriminate in their provision of adoption and foster services based on gender identity or sexual orientation. Of significant concern to Barker is the negative impact this Rule would have on children in foster care and those waiting to be adopted. As of September 30, 2018, there were 437,283 children in foster care, of which 125,422 were waiting to be adopted.
