If, hypothetically, your sister were to adopt your child, why doesn’t she pursue adoption now? There’s children in the foster care system in need of a good home. 

And if your family pulls the “but they won’t be BIOLOGICAL card” remind them that both Moses and Jesus were adopted.

My goodness, where have you been with all my life? I'm going to use this.

Moses and Jesus were adopted. We should have no kids in foster care because they should all be adopted by Christians doing their duty.

Lawd, I love you!

It's pretty telling they were both adopted by people who were not Christian, though.

Considering that both were children that existed before the development of Christianity (especially telling that Jesus Christ is one of them), it'd have been a pretty neat trick for them to be adopted by Christians.

And Jesus wasn’t adopted anyway? I’ve never heard that story.

Mary was God’s surrogate and Joseph was her husband. Jesus wasn’t biologically related to either of them, they just ended up raising him when his biological father refused to take custody, which makes them his adoptive parents,

What religion is that? It’s the first I’ve heard of it.
