atheism and children

[abaris]

We think if a couple can't conceive, the more moral thing would be to adopt and give a home to one of the many homeless children of the world.

In itself it's a laudable approach to offer a home to the homeless. But as always - not directed at you personally - I'm concerned if it comes with religious ballast. The it's the right thing because our religion tells us so approach is what's bothering me. Can be heartfelt, can also be a sense of duty. And a sense of duty isn't the best approach.
