1. The well-being of a child is a primary factor. It is far more important than financial benefits. Nowadays, many offer a child for adoption simply to make money. Such money is evil. And it is blood money, because the soul of a human being belongs to God and is not meant to be sold. For selling Joseph, the house of Israel had to go Egypt to suffer the consequences. For selling Jesus, Judas has to die a shameful death and miss the kingdom of heaven.
   


2. Inheriting the ancestral problems, in addition to the ancestral problems of the biological father and mother.
   


3. New and extra give-and-take accounts are created between the child and the adopted family.
   


4. The extra give-and take-account makes the child and the family members to reincarnate, if they fail to manage the give-and take-account very well. In every society, every member has something to contribute or duties to perform. Failure to fulfill the responsibilities makes the person bound to reincarnate, until all debts are paid.
   


5. Subsequent developments after adoption may not be pleasant to the adopted child or to the adopting family. For example, the child may grow up and learn that he does not naturally belong to the family and may choose to track back his genealogy. In many cases, the mother in the house loves the adopted child very much. But once, she bears her own child, that love and care for the adopted child gradually fade out.
   


6. In some societies, the villagers are so flippant with their tongues that they would inspire and mock the adopted child into rejecting the adopted family. In such cases, the adopted child becomes troublesome, insultive or disobedient.
   


7. In future, an adopted child can become an intelligent agent for his biological people, just as Moses defended the Israelites in Egypt before he flee away from the house of Pharaoh. The same thing happened in the life of Samson, because Delilah teamed up with her people, the Philistines, to torture and kill Samson.
   


8. The adopted child may have a very bad and cursed genealogy. By adoption, the child transfers the same evil and curses to the adopting family.
   


9. In some cases, the adopted child may grow up to be an imbecile, a dunce or a criminal. In such a case, the physical pain and spiritual torment of the couple becomes worsened instead of being eased.
   


10. In some cases, the distress may continue into the next birth of the child or adopted family.
    


11. Today, adoption is very common and popular. But, from the spiritual perspective, adoption involves us more deeply in worldly life, which take us away from the basic purpose of life, which is spiritual growth.
    

1. Adoption should be based only on charity, to help the adopted child.
   


2. When the child is grown up, present to him or her the true details about his birth and life. Then, he is free to choose to leave the family or to continue living with the family
   


3. All services rendered by adopting family should be on the basis of selfless service, as service rendered to God, without expecting rewards, thanks, praises, force or persuasion.
   


4. Both family and child should increase their spiritual practice in order to overcome battles in life.
   


5. Generally, physical problems can be cured by medical treatment. However, several spiritual distresses can only be solved by undertaking intense spiritual practice. Unfortunately, majority, especially men, are so spiritually lazy and ignorant that they fail to take necessary steps to effect quick and ready spirual solutions. Therefore, many problem grow from bad to worse.
