The Bible’s take regarding adoption can be found in several parts of the Bible. In Exodus 1:15-22 and 2:1-10, a Hebrew woman who conceived a son during the time when the Pharaoh ordered every son killed decided to place her son in a basket and among the “reeds by the river bank.” When the daughter of the Pharaoh saw the basket, she took pity on the child and took him in and named him Moses because she “drew him out of the water.”
Using this given information, it can be said that the Bible does not condemn adoption because it is done out of a person’s free will and love for another person. Romans 8:15 states that, “For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’”
