National Council for Adoption v. Blinken
"Members of the National Council For Adoption help prospective parents adopt children. In 2018, the Department of State issued guidance barring adoption agencies from referring certain children to certain parents. When the Council challenged that guidance, the district court dismissed its suit for lack of subject matter jurisdiction after concluding that the Council lacked standing. We reverse that decision. We also conclude that the guidance is a legislative rule. And because the Department of State issued it without the required notice-and-comment process, the guidance must be vacated."
