Parents who want to adopt shouldn’t face discrimination for their deeply held Christian beliefs. They shouldn’t be denied access to available government opportunities because of their faith. Yet that’s precisely what’s happening to Jessica Bates—a mother of five who is seeking to adopt and care for a sibling pair. Oregon is flat-out rejecting Jessica’s application for failing to “meet the adoption home standards.” In other words, she won’t tell boys they can be girls and girls they can be boys, take children to events like Pride parades, or facilitate a child’s access to potentially ...

This is exactly the situation Jessica Bates faces in Oregon. Oregon officials are preventing Jessica from adopting because they disagree with her Christian beliefs—despite ...

Tens of thousands of children throughout the country need loving and stable families. But the United States is currently facing a shortage of loving foster care and adoptive homes, and the nation is facing a crisis. In Oregon, several hundred children are up for adoption and desperately need someone to care for them, and yet the state is putting their needs second to politics. For Oregon, a loving and stable home isn’t enough. They’re requiring that prospective adoptive parents agree with the state’s views on radical gender ideology. They’re turning down anyone who won’t lie to a child about ...
