Under the new rule, foster children who identify as LGBT are to only be placed in "affirming" homes where whatever gender or sexuality delusions they suffer from will be accepted and praised at all times. If a gender dysphoric child ends up in a "non-affirming" home, then the Biden regime will have the power to remove them for new placement elsewhere.
Conservative and religious groups say the new rule infringes on the rights of non-affirming, aka normal, foster parents, including those who might try to counsel and support their LGBT foster children to accept their God-given gender and sexuality rather than try to butcher it through drugging and mutilation.
Cuyahoga County, Ohio, piloted a program along these lines called "Affirm Me," which ended in 2021, from which the Biden regime pulled the idea. It included a "Supportive Questions to Ask" sheet informing foster parents about how they should interact with their LGBT foster children.
"Is there someone you are currently working with (case worker, doctor, therapist) that you talk to about your gender affirming needs?" one of the questions on the fact sheet reads. "I would like to support you in any way I can. I am here if you would like to talk about anything regarding affirming your gender."
The sheet gets even more graphic by telling foster parents to basically encourage their LGBT foster children to surgically tamper with their bodies in order to affirm their gender delusions.
"You have shared that you would like [wider hips, breasts, penis]," one of the bullet points reads. "There are many ways in which to affirm you and you can definitely have [wider hips, breast, penis]. Would you like to talk about it with me or someone else?"

Normalizing transgenderism among foster youth
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) used Cuyahoga County's program as a model for shaping the new federal foster rule. It essentially pushes foster parents to affirm their foster children's gender identity no matter how damaging it is to those children's bodies.
"The county’s program pushes parents to affirm their child’s gender identity, with federal officials viewing the refusal to do so as a form of emotional abuse," explains YourNews.
"This model, developed with federal grant funding, places immense pressure on parents, forcing them to choose between supporting their child's transition or losing parental rights."
When the Affirm Me program came to an end in Cuyahoga County, by the way, two other Ohio-based foster youth programs, Kinnect to Family and Youth-Centered Permanency Roundtables, picked up where it left off by integrating the model "as a cultural adaptation to their work."
Other states have their own similar programs as well that the Biden regime built off of. The California-based nonprofit Family Builders has its own "Youth Acceptance Program" (YAP), as they are calling it, that pushes to normalize transgenderism among foster youth.
"The premise is dangerous and could extend outside the foster care context to adoption, custody disputes, and schools," commented Rachel Morrison, director of the HHS Accountability Project.
One of Biden's biggest accomplishments was to degrade society by normalizing the transgender mutilation of children. Learn more at Evil.news.
