They’re not your kids, this is not a “I paid for them so they’re mine now” situation… and they likely don’t have the same heritage as you. You just want to tell yourself that buying human beings is somehow a good thing but adoptees like myself would know better than you what it’s like to be adopted. Christian countries like Russia don’t even let Americans adopt anymore due to how barbaric the industry is here.

Moses was adopted and St. Joseph was an adoptive father. The Bible, both Old and New Testament, speak favorably of adoption and baptism is described as spiritual adoption.

Do not blaspheme the Holy Spirit, even if you are upset.

Moses’s mother was paid to nurse him and was part of his life throughout his childhood and western legalism is not something that eastern Christians agree with because eastern Christians are aware that Saint Paul used a completely different word that was translated as adoption but doesn’t mean legal adoption the way it’s practiced in the modern US. Your biblical scholarship being weak does not mean that I am blaspheming the Holy Spirit either.

It didn’t even mean legal adoption back in Saint Paul’s time either. This is not even something that’s debated by literally anyone who studies these things

You claimed that adoption was a fiction invented by the US legal system. Europe has always had adoption. Has nothing to do with homosexuality or abortion or Americans.

You're conflating a bunch of stuff, that is merely tangentially related.
