Thank You
Jessica Bates is a mother to five children in Oregon—and she wants to thank people like you, who have prayed for and supported her stand in court for the sake of children in need.
Five years ago, Jessica lost her husband in a car crash. She and her kids learned what it’s like to go through profound loss and together, rely on the love of God.
The Lord placed the children in Oregon’s foster care system on her heart. Her family wants to open their arms to a sibling pair and adopt them into their home.
But the state of Oregon has barred Jessica from adopting because of her biblical beliefs about gender and sexuality.
Jessica simply cannot facilitate a child’s access to dangerous puberty blockers and hormone shots, neither will she take a child to events like Pride parades.
Now, with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom and the Lord’s provision through friends like you, Jessica is standing in court against Oregon’s blatant discrimination against her faith.
People like you are helping hold the government accountable for putting politics above the needs of children.
Thank you for standing with Jessica!
