mother unknown

Jessica Bates is a widowed mother of five from Oregon who recently gained attention after reaching a settlement with the state regarding her application to foster and adopt children. Bates, who holds Christian beliefs that conflict with affirming a child's gender transition, faced denial of her application when she expressed her concerns about being required to support gender affirmation for children in her care. After legal representation from the Alliance Defending Freedom, a settlement was reached, allowing her to continue pursuing her goal of fostering and adopting children in need.
