The 21st Century Children and Families Act amends federal child welfare law to expand nondiscrimination protections in foster care and adoption by prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), religion, or national origin. The bill increases flexibility for states before terminating parental rights by extending the timeline from 15 of 22 months to 24 consecutive months and requiring states to demonstrate they have provided adequate services and support before filing termination petitions, with exceptions for cases involving active parental engagement in services, incarceration, or immigration detention. The bill also expands the Court Improvement Program to require training on child welfare policies, race and equity, and to increase access to legal representation for all parties in child welfare cases.
