Requires child's religion not be changed due to foster care or adoption.

This bill requires adoption agencies, courts, and the Division of Child Protection and Permanency to make reasonable efforts to place children in homes that match their religious faith. If a child is placed in a home of a different faith, a written explanation is required, and provisions must be made for the child to continue their religious practices. These changes aim to maintain a child's religious upbringing when they are placed in foster care or adopted.
