This case represents the first federal appeals court ruling specifically addressing the intersection of religious freedom and state-mandated gender ideology in adoption services. Unlike previous religious freedom cases focused on same-sex adoption, this ruling specifically targets the requirement to actively promote transgender ideology to children as a condition for adoption eligibility.

📰 What Happened
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on July 25, 2025 that Jessica Bates, an Oregon mother of five, can proceed with adopting foster children without being forced to promote gender ideology. The court overturned an Oregon Department of Human Services rule that had excluded her from adoption for refusing to tell children that biological sex can be changed. ADF Senior Counsel Jonathan Scruggs argued the case, stating the exclusion violated Bates' First Amendment rights.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The Oregon DHS mandate requiring adoptive parents to affirm gender ideology represents the prophesied 'strong delusion' (2 Thess 2:11) entering child welfare systems. The state's attempt to force Jessica Bates to 'lie to children' about biological reality mirrors the warning in Romans 1:25 about exchanging truth for lies. The requirement to participate in pride parades and promote gender ideology to foster children demonstrates how false worship systems are being institutionalized through government agencies, fulfilling warnings about compulsory participation in end-times deception.
