On June 16, 2015 First Focus Campaign for Children sent letters in support of the Every Child Deserves a Family Act introduced by Senator Gillibrand in the Senate and Congressman Lewis in the House of Representatives. This bill would prevent entities receiving federal funds from discriminating against prospective foster and adoptive parents based on their sexual orientation, gender identity or marital status. This bill has the potential to help thousands of children in the child welfare system find loving and permanent homes.
