“Transgender children who need an adoptive or foster parent could be placed in homes that don't support their gender identity if a new bill gets signed into law.
“Senate Bill 1677, authored by Sen. Julie Daniels, would prohibit the Oklahoma Department of Human Services from requiring a condition for potential foster and adoptive parents that they support a child's sexual orientation or gender identity if it conflicts with the prospective parents ‘sincerely held religious or moral beliefs’.
“The bill would also prohibit DHS from denying a prospective parent adoption or fostering a child based in part on their religious beliefs regarding sexual orientation or gender identity.”
But like.... Why though? What's the utility of this? If a couple sits down to talk to this kiddo like "so on your records it says you're a boy but you say you're a girl, why? "because I was supposed to be a girl, I'm transgender" "okay, do you see any possibility of living as a boy if we adopt you" "no?"
why wouldn't they just.... Adopt someone else? If there are 100 kiddos to choose to adopt, you are likely to meet between 98 and 99 that don't have this thing that "goes against your religious beliefs"
Why make it even harder on yourself? Being an adopted kiddo is already harder than I could imagine, why make the situation worse on purpose?
