Summary/Abstract: It is important to understand that human dignity is conferred by God and not by people, and the sacredness invested in a child since conception does not depend on its physical and mental health or the quality of its DNA. In this context, a parent, regardless the situation is in, is not entitled to alienate the child, because his power is not discretionary, and the child's right to have natural parents to protect him is a divine right. Church can agree with the adoption of the child only in case of major crisis, when both natural parents are gone and we are sure that natural motherhood is completed by spiritual motherhood. Where there is no spiritual motherhood an artificial lineage appears which becomes the antithesis of motherhood. If we need morality and social order for the world of tomorrow, then we have to recover as soon as possible the family and especially to help young families by adopting special national programs.
