I understand that adopters want children and have to look to other women to give them children, but it seems so barbaric to me.
This makes me think of something that a dear, devout Christian friend told me recently. Although I am not a Christian, he thought I would find it interesting that in the discussions they have been having in his Bible class, they have been discussing the notion that both Joseph and God adopted Jesus, in different ways of course. I don't know the exact quotes that started this, but they have been really enjoying developing this topic. Hardly barbaric.
Don't mean to start a whole religious debate, but I find it hard to believe that ANY adoption is barbaric. My birthmother put my needs before hers when she placed me, and by doing that, she gave my parents and me a tremendous gift. That's not being a barbarian, that's unconditional love.
