A federal court says New York officials weren’t infringing on a Christian adoption agency’s religious freedom by requiring it to serve same-sex couples.

Syracuse-based New Hope Family Services had sued the state office of children and family services from shutting them down because of "discriminatory" policy regarding child placements.

In dismissing the lawsuit, the court said it found no anti-religious bias in the state's nondiscrimination policies.

New Hope plans to appeal the ruling, while the state said it's reviewing the decision and will determine what action is appropriate.
