What about children who are adopted - are they not part of a “REAL” family?
Depends. Are you talking about the adopted black boy by the homosexual couple in Mass. who was a Duke Prof. —The one who was complaining about his “son” learning to speak which made it more difficult to rape him and sell him to other homosexuals on the internet? He “loved” his black baby.
The Truth is-—that orphanages and “step” parents, etc. who have no biological interest and connection to children are more likely to emotionally and physically abuse the children. It is recorded fact.
We understood the tragedy of children who lose parents—orphanages were always considered evil.
Granted. There are people with true Christian ethics who do a wonderful job raising adopted children-—but even those loved, adopted children find a need to search out their true identity. It is what connects them to the past and gives them when they have children, a connection to the future in profound ways which creates an interest in history and a concern about the future. God designed it that way-—it is a perfect design. Adoption is necessary with death, etc. but it is never as good as the way God designed it.
That being said-—many adopting parents are wonderful because they have that true selflessness of Christianity. I think immoral people will be horrible parents whether natural or not. There are some awful parents and children are better off with strangers raising them in that case.
