Federal Court Sides with Christian Mom Blocked from Adoption over Oregon’s LGBTQ+ Affirmation Policy
A federal court on Thursday sided with an Oregon Christian mother after state officials denied her application in 2023 to adopt foster children because of her religious beliefs about gender and sexuality.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that Jessica Bates may begin the process of adopting siblings from foster care while her lawsuit against state officials continues. The panel of judges, which ruled 2-1 in favor of Bates, also blocked the state from enforcing its policy against her mandating that she affirm and encourage the LGBTQ+ identity of an adopted child, in violation of her religious beliefs.
“We hold that Oregon’s policy violates the First Amendment as applied to Bates. We reverse the district court’s denial of preliminary injunctive relief and direct that a preliminary injunction be entered,” Judge Daniel Bress, an appointee of President Donald Trump, wrote for the majority.
Bress wrote in the order that “adoption is not a constitutional law dead zone.”
“No one thinks, for example, that a state could exclude parents from adopting foster children based on those parents’ political views, race, or religious affiliations,” he wrote. “Adoption is not a constitutional law dead zone. And a state’s general conception of the child’s best interest does not create a force field against the valid operation of other constitutional rights.”
He added that judges are “willing to accept on this record that Oregon intended to act in the best interests of children, and not out of hostility or animus toward religion.”
“But that does not make Oregon’s policy neutral toward religion,” he wrote. “For the reasons we have given, Oregon’s policy is not neutral, which means that for Bates’s Free Exercise Clause claim, we must apply strict scrutiny to Oregon’s denial of Bates’s application.”

HUGE WIN at the 9th Circuit for our client Jessica Bates! This widowed Oregon mom was categorically barred from adopting a foster child—regardless of the child’s age or beliefs—because she wouldn’t promise to affirm gender ideology.
The 9th Circuit ruled that Oregon’s policy Show more
Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed a lawsuit in April 2023 on behalf of Bates, a single mother of five children who lost her husband in a car collision eight years ago. The lawsuit accuses officials with the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) of violating the First and Fourteenth Amendments by using state policy to push secular views of gender and sexuality, which ultimately bars Bible-believing Christians from adopting or fostering children in the state.
The complaint alleges that state officials told Bates during the adoptive parent training process that she must comply with a state policy mandating that she follow secular ideals in raising her adopted child:
[Bates must] respect, accept and support the race, ethnicity, cultural identities, national origin, immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disabilities, spiritual beliefs, and socioeconomic status, of a child or young adult in the care or custody of the Department, and provide opportunities to enhance the positive self-concept and understanding of the child or young adult’s heritage.
Training recommendations in line with state policy require parents to use a child’s “preferred pronouns” and suggest that prospective parents should display “‘hate-free zone’ signs or symbols indicating and LGBTQ-affirming environment (e.g. pink triangle, rainbow, or ally flag),” “whether or not a youth in your care openly identifies as LGBTQ+.”
“One handout Jessica received directs caregivers to ‘[c]elebrate diversity in all forms,’ and ‘[p]rovide access to a variety of books, movies, and materials, including those that positively represent same-gender relationships,’” the complaint states. “The handout…also states that ‘[r]especting [a child’s] gender identity and expression is very important,’ and parents should avoid ‘forcing youth to attend activities (including religious activities …) that are … unsupportive of people with diverse SOGIE.”‘
Bates, who was hoping to adopt a sibling pair from the state’s foster care system, alerted ODHS that she will happily love and accept any child, but she cannot say or do something that goes against her Christian faith, according to the complaint:
Like countless people of faith, Jessica believes that our biological sex carries spiritual significance for who we are and how we should act. Jessica cannot affirm that a male is or should try to be female or vice versa. So Jessica alerted the Department that she will gladly love and accept any child for who they are, but she cannot say or do anything against her Christian faith. The state then put Jessica to a choice: abandon your religious convictions or forgo the possibility of ever adopting any child.
The ODHS ultimately declined her application, allegedly sending a denial letter that cited her belief that “God gives us our gender/sex and it’s not something we get to choose.” The denial letter also allegedly stated that Bates would not support the lifestyle and behavior of a child that may later identify as gay or transgender and cited her religious objection to facilitating sex hormone treatments for children.
ADF ultimately argued that ODHS’s policy penalizes Bates for her religious views, compels her to speak words that violate her beliefs, and deprives her of equal protection of the law because of her faith.
A lower court ruled against Bates in November 2023, and the ADF appealed her case to the Ninth Circuit the following month. The Ninth Circuit’s ruling on Thursday reverses the lower court’s ruling and allows Bates to proceed with the adoption process while litigation continues.
The case is Bates v. Pakseresht, No. 23-4169 in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

Donald Trump Jr. Knocks ‘The View’ After Show Goes on Hiatus
First son Donald Trump Jr. celebrated The View going on hiatus this week, calling it a “major win for humanity and common sense.”
Co-host Joy Behar announced on Thursday that the show will have one more episode before going on hiatus, admitting that changes will be coming.
“Before we go on hiatus, we only have one more show after this. I’m allowed to say that, right?” Behar said.
“Too late now,” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin quipped
“Before we go, I wanted to tell people that the tide is turning,” she said. “And things are changing.”
Later in the broadcast, co-host Whoopi Goldberg clarified by saying, “OK … so this is what’s going on. We will see you all for another new show, and we’ll be back for our new season in September.”
“Joy Behar is an irrelevant loser suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome,” a White House spokesperson said in a statement. “It’s no surprise that ‘The View’s ratings hit an all-time low last year. She should self-reflect on her own jealousy of President Trump’s historic popularity before her show is the next to be pulled off-air.”
Donald Trump Jr. joined in on the pile-on with a post on X, calling it a “major win for humanity and common sense.”
“Look, it’s entirely possible that there’s issues over there. And stepping back, this broader dynamic, once President Trump has exposed these media gatekeepers and smashed this facade, there’s a lot of consequences. I think the consequences of that aren’t quite finished,” FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said on Fox News.
As Breitbart News reported, Disney and ABC executives allegedly told the hosts this year to tone down the Trump-bashing:
While The View hosts have never shied away from bashing Trump and Republicans in general, executives within the company have reportedly grown weary with the show’s over-emphasis on politics, feeling that it has strayed from its original inception as a talk show for women. According to the Daily Beast, two sources confirmed that Disney CEO Bob Iger and ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic recently held a meeting with The View hosts and executive producer Brian Teta asking them to shift the conversation away from politics.
“Karamehmedovic highlighted episodes with celebrity guests that he said were highly rated, one source said, and encouraged them to lean into such coverage moving forward,” noted the outlet.
While Iger and Karamehmedovic did not go far to demand a change, the suggestion still upset the hosts, with Ana Navarro reportedly telling them that their audience tunes into the show for political perspectives.
“This is what our audience wants. Isn’t it gonna look kind of bad if we’re all of a sudden not talking about politics?” Ana Navarro reportedly told the two executives

Trump’s Justice Department Sues New York City for Protecting Illegal Aliens with Sanctuary Policies
President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against New York City, New York, Mayor Eric Adams (D) over the city’s sanctuary policies that shield illegal aliens from federal immigration enforcement.
On Thursday, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a lawsuit against Adams and other city officials for their enforcement of sanctuary city policies that DOJ prosecutors say are a violation of the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution.
“New York City has released thousands of criminals on the streets to commit violent crimes against law-abiding citizens due to sanctuary city policies,” Bondi said. “If New York City won’t stand up for the safety of its citizens, we will.”
The DOJ’s lawsuit notes events of this week, when two illegal aliens who had been set loose by New York City’s sanctuary policy ended up allegedly shooting a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer in the face and leg during an attempted armed robbery.
“Just this week, New York City’s sanctuary policies have reaped tragic consequences. On July 20, 2025, two illegal aliens allegedly ambushed an off-duty Customs and Border Protection officer while he sat in Fort Washington Park,” the lawsuit states:
They allegedly tried to rob the officer, shooting him in the face and the leg in the process. Both aliens entered the United States illegally and were repeatedly arrested for criminal behavior since. In fact, after an April 5, 2024, arrest for fourth-degree felony grand larceny and petit larceny, ICE placed an immigration detainer on one of the aliens. But the New York City Department of Correction ignored the detainer and released him back onto the streets of New York City, leaving him free to continue committing crimes. But for New York City’s sanctuary policies, this tragedy could have been avoided. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem lamented: “How many more lives will it take, how many more people have to be hurt and victimized before we have public safety be a number one priority in some of our largest cities? [Emphasis added]
The DOJ has filed similar lawsuits against sanctuary jurisdictions like Los Angeles, California; New York State; Colorado; Illinois; and Rochester, New York, and recently got Louisville, Kentucky, to drop its sanctuary policy after a threat of a lawsuit.
“For too long, New York City has been at the vanguard of interfering with enforcing our immigration laws,” Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate said in a statement. “Its efforts to thwart federal immigration enforcement end now.”
Earlier this year, in testimony to the House Judiciary’s Immigration Subcommittee, National Immigration Center for Enforcement (NICE) President RJ Hauman revealed that from October 2022 through February 2025 some 25,000 criminal illegal aliens were shielded from federal immigration enforcement thanks to sanctuary jurisdictions.
The lawsuit is United States v. City of New York, No. 1:25-cv-4084 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
