DC: A single mother of five filed a lawsuit against the Oregon Department of Human Services Monday for allegedly denying her adoption application due to her religious beliefs, according to a press release from Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).
Jessica Bates, a single mother of five, who also lost her husband in a car crash six years prior, attempted to apply with the department to adopt children in 2022, according to the press release. Bates’ application was allegedly denied because her Christian beliefs would not allow her to “respect, accept, and support … the sexual orientation, gender identity, [and] gender expression” of the children in her care as the department’s adoption regulations require, according to the lawsuit. more here

Yet one more justification for my leaving Oregon.
In other words, we’re not going to let your traditional values get in the way of our indoctrination of the most vulnerable in our society. Petition denied. Oh, and another thing, we will be keeping our eye on you.

She is not a single mother. She lost her husband in a car crash. Therefore, she is a widow with children. Big difference.
Little Morphin’ Annie, that’s an important distinction! Well said.
When the Republicvnts come out in favor of nutting little boys and ripping the titz off of little girls, I intend to stop voting against the Demoncrats.

Christians are now number one on the hit list and I am not talking oldies but goodies. Tribulation produces perseverance…the same kind that Jesus suffered inRev 3:10.
We need to pray and speak up more than ever.
Satan’s minions are destroying the country and blinding people to the truth.
The media are almost all frauds who sold their souls for money and fame.
So it will be tough.
Wisconsin now has a Commie on the state Supreme Court, Chicago elected an anti white Commie, this and other occurrences in OR.
Soros is now denying funding these people even though there’s a paper trail.
The media will do his bidding.
If Trump somehow beats the cheating Dirty Dems he needs to just fire everyone he can.
There was too big of a danger that the adopted child would grow up normal and well-adjusted for Oregon to approve the application.
People who made that decision should NEVER have a government job. Period. Time to force the homos out of our schools while we’re at it.
Wyatt…if she had some of these in the house they’d have approved the adoption:

You know what you call a stockpile of ammunition? Wasted.
Oregon already has plans for that child. It will become a member of antifa, gay pride, tranny public school teacher (with big prosthetic boobs), and a groomer. I’m grateful I do not have small child to raise.
Hmmmm….I’ll bet they’d let the adoption occur if she cut her breasts off.

“We need to pray and speak up more than ever.
Satan’s minions are destroying the country and blinding people to the truth.”
We need to pray that God’s will be done. We are to hasten the coming of the Day of the Lord. The apostle Peter said it, I just quoted him:
2 Peter 3:9-15
9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.
11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!
13 But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
14 Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless,
15 and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation;
NASU
Why are we to hasten the Day of the Lord? It’s because that is the day Jesus comes to cut the great tribulation short, to rapture the Christians off the earth and to pour out God’s wrath on all who are left behind.
Those who experience the wrath of God do not repent. They shake their fist at God because they hate Him. God wrath is directed at those who hate Him, who worship the creation (themselves) rather than the Creator.
Rom 1:24-25
24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.
25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
NASU
Satan and his minions are already destroying this country (and the world). It’s a done-deal. It’s in the Bible in Matthew 24:1-14.
Let’s speak up more and share the good news. Yes the only good news is that God loves the sinner and that if the sinner asks God to forgive him and confesses Jesus Christ, He will and will the sinner the free gift of eternal life.
I am becoming bolder to promote the good news because I can see “the handwriting is on the wall”. (That’s in the Bible too: Daniel 5:5-30). I believe that Jesus is coming back in less than ten years (Joshua 3:3-4). I say all that to say, “Ask God to forgive you of your sins (all have sinned) and make Jesus your Lord. It’s that simple. God will forgive you and give the free gift of eternal life. Get a Bible and read it starting with the Gospel of John. Attend a Bible teaching church to grow your spirit. There will be no second chance on the other side of the rapture.
She’ll win that suit. Religious discrimination. Dead cert.
