Alabama just made it much harder for LGBT parents to adopt children from certain adoption agencies.
Republican Gov. Kay Ivey signed House Bill 24, titled the Alabama Child Placing Agency Inclusion Act, which “prohibit[s] the state from refusing to license or renew the license of a child placing agency on the basis that the provider declines to carry out an activity that conflicts with the religious beliefs of the agency.”
The bill applies to religious adoption agencies that do not receive federal funds.
