Can you explain this conversion?
I hope I don't insult anyone with my ignorance but this thread caught my eye. I gave my son up for adoption in 1986. He was adopted by a couple in New York. In the adoption papers there was a paragraph stating that I give permission for him to be raised in the Jewish faith and it needed my signature. It wasn't in my husband's paperwork, only mine. He signed consent before our son was born, I obviously did it afterwards. Can anyone explain to me why it was so important that it was actually documented and signed? What happens or usually happens when a child of a catholic mother and ukrainian orthodox father (or anyone not of the Jewish faith) is adopted by a Jewish couple? Thank you in advance.
