Massachusetts foster parents Nicholas and Audrey Jones are facing the heartbreaking reality of losing their foster daughter—not because of neglect or abuse, but because of their Christian convictions.
The state’s Department of Children and Families is pressuring them to sign an agreement that would require them to deny their deeply held beliefs about gender and identity. When they refused, they were told their license “won’t work” and risked losing the little girl they’ve welcomed into their family. This is not an isolated story. It’s a reminder that people of faith are being asked to choose between serving vulnerable children and staying true to their conscience.
We are proud that our attorneys, Andrew Nussbaum and James Compton, are standing with the Jones family in this fight—serving as counsel of record alongside our partners at Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and Massachusetts Family Institute (MFI).
Protecting the right of parents of faith to open their homes to children in need isn’t just a legal battle; it is a moral one. At stake is the ability of countless families to provide love and stability to children who need it most without being forced to abandon their convictions.
We are honored to support this cause and to work with organizations on the front lines of defending religious freedom.
