WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a powerful stand for family values, Republican lawmakers are taking action to protect conservative parents from being excluded from the adoption and foster care system for refusing to bow to extreme gender ideology.
Senators Jim Banks (R-IN) and Tom Cotton (R-AR), along with Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL), have reintroduced the SAFE Home Act, aimed at defending the rights of parents who reject transgender medical procedures for children. The bill would prohibit any adoption or foster agency that receives federal funding from discriminating against families who believe in raising children according to their biological sex.
✅ Key Point: The SAFE Home Act ensures traditional families aren’t penalized for refusing to endorse gender reassignment surgeries, puberty blockers, or psychological “affirmation therapy” for children.
“This legislation puts common sense over woke politics,” said Sen. Banks. “Children deserve loving homes — not dangerous, irreversible treatments. Parents who follow traditional values should be welcomed, not rejected.”
Standing Against Biden’s Gender Agenda
The bill directly pushes back against a 2023 Biden administration rule that required agencies to prioritize placing children into homes that affirm gender identity and sexual orientation — even over biological reality. That rule, critics say, puts leftist ideology ahead of child safety.
Sen. Cotton warned that America’s foster care system is “under threat” from radical gender policies, while Rep. Miller called the bill a lifeline for faith-based and moral families being squeezed out by government overreach.
🛑 “We must stop the madness,” Miller said. “Parents should not be punished for rejecting unproven and irreversible treatments. The SAFE Home Act restores freedom, faith, and family-first values.”
President Trump’s Ongoing Leadership
President Donald J. Trump has already taken bold steps to protect children from extreme transgender policies. His administration pushed for a nationwide ban on taxpayer-funded gender surgeries for minors, enforced biological protections in women’s sports, and fought to defend parents’ rights in education and health care.
🇺🇸 Under Trump’s leadership, parents—not bureaucrats—make decisions for their kids.
Though some of these actions face ongoing legal battles, they remain popular among working families, Christian communities, and Americans who want to protect childhood innocence from far-left social experiments.
America’s Children Need Real Solutions
According to the federal government’s 2023 Adoption and Foster Care Report, more than 368,000 children are currently in foster care, with over 109,000 waiting for permanent homes. Supporters of the SAFE Home Act say it could open the door to thousands of qualified, loving families who are currently being disqualified for their beliefs.
❤️ “This is about children. This is about real families,” said Sen. Banks. “And it’s about time the government stopped punishing people for having common sense.”
