Massachusetts Couple Loses Foster License Over LGBTQ Policy

A Woburn, Massachusetts couple, Lydia and Heath Marvin, lost their foster license after refusing to sign a Department of Children and Families (DCF) form.

The form required them to support gender-affirming care for LGBTQ youth, which conflicts with their religious beliefs.

“We asked, is there any sort of accommodation, can you waive this at all?” Lydia told CBS Boston. “We simply can’t agree to go against our Christian faith in this area.”

The couple had fostered eight children under the age of four since 2020, but their license was revoked in April 2025.

The Marvins appealed the loss of their license but were unsuccessful and are considering joining a federal lawsuit.
