A possible biblical based "adoption service"....

I do not have a formal degree in sociology and I have not studied "adoption methods and practices".....but I do believe that there should be adoption services that SERVE the children in a godly way.  I have heard of "syrian refugee children" (aged 13-18) who were MISTREATED and FORCED into sex-slavery or prostitution in western-nations (European and otherwise), because there are not enough GODLY men and women around to show them the proper way to conduct their life.  I don't know if these nations have laws about "predatory behavior" towards children, but I am sure these nations do not care to investigate these things if they are getting away with it.  That is extremely sad.

Despite that, I do believe in setting up adoption services that help GODLY couples to adopt.  Anybody with any type of "religious value" may adopt from this service but they must meet these requirements before using the service.  Here could be a possible outline of conditions:

******


Yes, we encourage couples to be in one-man-one-woman households, but we know there are circumstances and households that have alternative set-ups.

These are the requirements for our adoption services:
1. Must be supportive of the general guidelines and sexuality practices outlined in the first five books of the bible (Torah).  Must especially be merciful, compassionate, faithful and not jugmental.

2. Must show concern and awareness of struggling family, community and domestic life conditions as described in the bible. Dinah, Tamar, Mephibosheth, Jephthah, Gideon, Moses' wife etc.

3. Must show awareness and concern of events that occured during WW1 and WW2 and other similar events in history.  (The reason is because some children may have Jewish and/or Middle Eastern ancestry or biological relatives and not know it)

4. Must show awareness and concern about lynchings that occured on American Soil.

5. Must show awareness and concern about issues that occured during the "boarding school era."

********

Possible alternative set-ups that may occur, and be ok:
1. Family that practices polygyny, so long as there is not any evidence of misogyny.  All involved in the child's life need to be in agreement and have safety checks.

2. Family that practices "age gap" marriages (10 or more years difference) or older female-younger male marriages, so long as there is not any evidence of underage pedophillia.

3. Family that practices "swinging."  It wouldn't be considered adultery if the other partner agrees with it.  (David and Bathsheba situation was adultery because Uriah didn't give permission)

4. Family that practices "brotherly love" or "sisterly love."  A practice of religious value that encourages a "Holly Kiss" or a fellowship with others of same gender.  The practices would not encourage "sodom and gomorah" lifestyles.

5. Single parent raising of children.  An individual that was never married takes on the role of raising children.  Need to show complete ability to balance time for the children and money.  Need to show connection with other people and family members that can assist as needed.  (Not recommended for those adopting children under the age of 10)

6. Single parent who lives with another relative, grandparent, aunt, cousin, sibling etc. that has the ability to raise the children. (similar to number 5)
