- Jessica Bates, a single mother of five, told the Daily Caller News Foundation in an interview Thursday that she was “shocked” that the state of Oregon denied her adoption application over “gender ideology.”
- During the adoption application process, Bates was informed that the state expected her to support a child if they decided to transition to another gender, something her faith prohibited, and allegedly refused to let her adopt when she said no.
- “I think everybody was just like really shocked at first that, you know, the gender ideology would be the reason why we wouldn’t be able to adopt,” Bates told the DCNF.
