The New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) has agreed to pay $250,000 in legal fees after spending years attempting to shut down New Hope Family Services, a faith-based adoption agency, because of its policy about placing children with a “married mother and father” and not same-sex couples and unmarried heterosexual couples.
According to The Christian Post, OCFS will also allow New Hope Family Services to maintain its faith-based policies. The Alliance Defending Freedom, a legal nonprofit that represented New Hope in the case, broke the news of the settlement on Tuesday.
