Note... these are not my viewpoints. These are some base arguments that lie beneath the fluff that people have so much fun arguing over.
So... I take it that this means that adoption is out? I don't see how this doesn't apply as child abandonment according 'from a religious person's viewpoint'.
Adoption when the child's parents are both dead? That's fine. And it is abandonment from any point of view to *abandon* it, thus necessitating it be adopted by another.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
