The proposed regulations say that a licensee cannot discriminate based upon family status.  That seems like too broad of a regulation to put on social workers/agencies.  I think it would be wholly inappropriate to do a family assessment and not be allowed to consider family status as part of a determination for a child placement.  I can imagine many scenarios when a single individual may not be qualified for the same placement as a couple due to the ages, specials needs and number of children being placed.
