A poll conducted by Rasmussen and the Daily Wire found that 54 percent of registered voters do not want faith-based families who do not support transgender ideology to be banned from adopting foster children.
Findings also show that 60 percent of frequent voters support families with “traditional gender norms”—defined as a family who believes that “biological males are boys” and “biological females are girls”—as being better for a foster child. Families who value traditional gender norms are also supported by 80 percent of Republicans, 58 percent of Democrats, and 37 percent of independents. (READ MORE: You Can Never Have Enough Kids)
The numbers are lower for families that support “nontraditional gender norms” — which include accepting changes with puberty blockers and gender transition surgery — for foster children. Sixty-three percent of Democrats agree, followed by 42 percent of independents, and 20 percent of Republicans.

Even though provisions are made to ensure that the rule does not “limit, preclude, or deny any religious provider’s ability to participate in the foster care system,” agencies have blocked families from adopting children due to their religious beliefs. Two Christian couples in Vermont were rejected from adopting children because they were not willing to compromise their beliefs.
