A person or government involved in adoption or foster-care placement may not deny or delay placement or parent opportunities because of race, color, or national origin. Violations are treated as Title VI violations, without changing the Indian Child Welfare Act.
(1) A person or government involved in adoption or foster-care placement may not (A) deny anyone the chance to become an adoptive or foster parent because of that person’s or the child’s race, color, or national origin, or (B) delay or deny placing a child for adoption or foster care because of the race, color, or national origin of the prospective parent or child. (2) Failing to comply is treated as a violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. (3) This subsection does not change the application of the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978.
A person or government that is involved in adoption or foster care placements may not—
deny to any individual the opportunity to become an adoptive or a foster parent, on the basis of the race, color, or national origin of the individual, or of the child, involved; or
delay or deny the placement of a child for adoption or into foster care, on the basis of the race, color, or national origin of the adoptive or foster parent, or the child, involved.
Noncompliance with paragraph (1) is deemed a violation of title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 [42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.].
This subsection shall not be construed to affect the application of the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 [25 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.].
