Jessica Bates, a mother of five from southeast Oregon, wished to provide a loving home to a child in need. However, state officials have seemingly implemented a last-minute religious litmus test for adoption, preventing Bates from starting a family.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit filed Monday stated: \u201cWhile Bates&#8217;s Christian faith is the reason she felt called to adopt in the first place, that same faith is the reason she is not being allowed to&#8230; According to the lawsuit, state officials denied Bates&#8217;s application to adopt, not because of a lack of financial resources or any history of abuse or neglect, but because she acknowledged that her Christian faith informs her that gender and sex aren\u2019t a choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bates claims that her application was rejected because she is unwilling to use pronouns that contradict biological sex, and that she would refuse to bring a child to medical appointments for cross-sex hormones. Such experimental &#8220;treatments&#8221; for minors, which have permanent implications, are banned or restricted in 11 states.<\/p>\n<p>The Oregon Department of Human Resources is denying Bates the ability to adopt for her refusal to foster an environment that promises to \u201caffirm\u201d the condition of a child\u2019s extreme distress. The department has not responded to The Federalist&#8217;s request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Gender dysphoria has become the only area of modern medicine where child patients guide their medical care, rather than the licensed clinicians, who are often eager to cash in on what is estimated to be a $5 billion-dollar industry by 2030. However, despite the real risks of suicide by aggressive affirmation of gender dysphoria, beyond the permanent mental and physical impacts of the pseudoscientific procedures being pushed on children, Oregon legislators are proposing a new law to cut parents out of the process entirely.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">Tristan Justice is the western correspondent for The Federalist and the author of Social Justice Redux, a conservative newsletter on culture, health, and wellness. <\/div>\n<div class=\"article-tags bdr-top-black mt-30 mt-sm-60 pt-15 pt-md-45\">\n<ul class=\"list-unstyled d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center mb-0 mx-n10 p-0\">\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/gender-dysphoria\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">gender dysphoria<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/jessica-bates\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Jessica Bates<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/oregon\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Oregon<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/oregon-department-of-human-resources\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Oregon Department of Human Resources<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/transgenderism\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">transgenderism<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With more than 8,000 children living in Oregon foster care, with 200 awaiting adoption, one might think state officials would jump at the opportunity to place a child in a loving home.
