XD	Well... IF you actualy beleive in religion and stuff. No. Jesus was not technically "Adopted" He was given to a family to raise as there own. You might cal this adoption Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Gordon Q Hinkley	I was just looking at the original register this morning and yes, Joseph did adopt him Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Pippin	Not adopted. Donor insemmination. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Nurse Autumn Intactivist NFP	Sorry, but I am atheist. You're religion doesn't fly wit me, therefore, neither does your reasoning (btw, I am NOT knocking christians. If you have peace in your religion, then more power to you!) I believe that Jesus was a jerk with a MAJOR god-complex, which probably resulted from all the BS they force fed him Joseph (ie: he was so screwed up BECAUSE of his so called "adoption") If you don't think that Jesus is a jerk, then what do you think of this? (BTW- the whole "his ways are higher than our ways" thing just doesn't cut it) http://yourgodisimaginary.com/i39.htm ANY who... Even IF everything you say was true, your reasoning is STILL flawed. So there have been a few adoptions where everyone feels all hunky dory inside. No one is denying that. That still doesn't negate the fact that the majority of adoptions are unethical. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Scot B	Yes but it was a secret at the time Otherwise Mary would have been stoned to death for having a kid outside of marriage, that was the custom back then Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bammfam	I guess you can say he was "adopted" but that doesn't mean that Joseph can't be called his father. He may not be his biological father (does that count with jesus?) but still he raised him, sorta, so i would at least call him a parent. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

straydog	Jesus was born of immaculate conception, through Mary who was a virgin at the time of conception. In reality God who is a spirit walked among man thruough Jesus. After Jesus was crusified he went to be with his father in heaven as a spirit thus the holyghost.God sent his son to teach and die for are sins. God, Jesus and the holyghost are one and the same. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

@@@@@	....And he walked on water and changed water to wine and rose people from the dead, ....and, and, and..... IT'S A MIRACLE. Get real. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Camira B	Gaia, I really love you right now! Well, since everyone is using the bible to prove their point these days, I thought I'd give it a whack. "The wicked snatch fatherless children from their mother's breasts, and take a poor man's baby as a pledge before they will loan him any money or grain." Job 24:9 I win! =D Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

DevonChaos	Wow, that's reaching. I am personally not of the belief that he existed, but according to the bible, he was not adopted by Joseph. Back then they didn't have laws for things like that. If Mary was his mother, and Joseph was married to Mary, then Joseph was the dad. You are a silly person, Ollie. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

小黃	... These answers are making me laugh SO DAMN HARD. Ah, you people and your Bibles. Jesus knew who his biological parents were the ENTIRE time when he was in the care of the Pharaohs. And then he ended up going BACK to his original people. (Of course, adoption "then" wasn't done the same it is accomplished today, for those of you who are adoption hard-core institution right freaks. :P ) ETA: Serenity - good point. Whoops. Got my stories mixed up. Ah well, Lillie's answer still kicks a$$. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Obias	Relax OllieO, you haven't just unraveled an astonishing psychological finding. Believe me. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Independ"ant"	Well...all I can say to all those that believe in bible fiction.....If your daughter comes home pregnant and claims immaculate conception...support her and the miracle baby....you never know....it might be another Messiah. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Heather ~ Not a Perfect Mom ~	Are you serious? Now I think you are just reaching for someone to tell you how wonderful adoption is....I mean how can it be bad if Jesus was adopted (Which I don't believe BTW) You win...Adoption if great...Nothing but rainbows, butterfly's and unicorn farts. Happy now. I hope so because that was hard for me to say! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Anha S	Andraya, thanks to you I blew coffee out my nose!! lol. Resorted to throwing the bible at a situation to try to make it aok now? Yikes. Full moon? ETA: I'm not a christian, but this comes off as a little insulting to those who are, using Jesus to push your point. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jenny	No Jesus was not adopted it was Moses and Esther that were, but they were able to be with their blood families too Jesus would not approve of separation and pain People have totally taken the Spiritual adoption way out of context and are using it to justify human adoption Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Serenity71	Ahhh Mei-Ling.... you're talking about Moses...different bible story. old testament. (I'm a Christian, but I don't have a 'religion' i have a faith. There is a difference.) I won't be telling my kids that Jesus was an adoptee just to make them feel better. They will learn about him the same way I did. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

maybe	How do you know Joseph was not his father? Did he submit to a DNA test? ETA: Oh wait, I know, it's because they doctored up a phony birth certificate to erase God's name as the father, and inserted Joseph's name. When Jesus had the audacity to insist that Joseph was not his father and that he wanted his original birth certifcate which proved God was his real father, he was promptly arrested and executed. Moral of the story for adoptees: don't make too much noise about wanting to know your daddy. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sunny	He at least had his MOTHER. And it WAS an open adoption. I really don't believe Jesus would approve of taking babies from their mothers to re-gift to infertile couples, however. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Andraya - Snark's Sister	If you believe what the bible says then Jesus had no earthly biological Father. How can it be adoption when there is no biological parent? I personally don't believe it and I think Mary figured out an AWESOME way to get out of being called a tramp. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Gaia Raain	You might appreciate this. I would cite my source, but I don't have one. So, whoever wrote this, thanks! Mary and Joseph weren't married, Joseph wasn't Jesus' birthdad, so you have to wonder ... What would happen if God, the Supreme Ruler of the Universe (and birth father) went to Catholic Charities requesting information on his son.... The year is 1999. The place...Catholic Charities of Greater Bethlehem... "Hi, my name is God the Supreme Ruler of the Universe. About 2000 years ago, I fathered a son. I believe he was born some time in December. I would like to find out what happened to him and make myself available should he have any questions." "How much money do have on you God? Because for a mere $1 million "donation" to Catholic Charities, you can sign a useless piece of paper with all your information on it that we have no intention of giving to your son should he contact us." "Well, that sounds like a good deal. Let me get out my checkbook. Can you tell me anything about my son?" "Oh, I'm sorry God. There is a chance that your son may have given up his own life for the good of mankind, but I'm not permitted by law to reveal that sort of information. But don't worry, you can just leave everything to me." "Okay, sounds great." MEANWHILE..... "Hi, my name is Jesus. I was born 2000 years ago on December 25th in Bethlehem. I have re-risen from the dead with the sole purpose of searching out my birth father. Can you help me?" "Well, Jesus, we here at Catholic Charities will do everything we can to help. How much money do you have on you?" "Uh, some years ago I gave up my life for the good of mankind. Prior to that I lived a simple existence performing good deeds and miracles. Needless to say, my cash flow is minimal." "Hmmmm, I see Jesus. No problem, we can put you on our installment plan. Once your first monthly check clears, I will journey all the way into the next room, open up the file cabinet, and pull your file. Then I will copy and send you five sheets of paper that contain vital medical information gathered 2000 years ago that basically serves no purpose as it has never been updated." "Wow, that sounds great. But how will that information help me find my birth father?" "It won't Jesus. But hopefully, that information will pacify you enough so that you won't bug the crap out of us anymore about this find-your-father thing. Although, there is an alternative. With a slight increase in your monthly payments, I will conduct the search for you because at 2000 years of age, you are too stupid to make decisions pertaining to your own life." "Okay, that sounds terrific. So when you find him, you will forward the information so that I can contact him?" "No. You cannot be trusted enough to contact your own father because it might disrupt his life. It is, however, completely acceptable for me, the almighty social worker, to disrupt his life on your behalf." "Okay, that sounds great. Sign me up..." Fortunately, God and his son Jesus were able to find each other thanks to the Greater Bethlehem Mutual Reunion Registry. They have started a support group and joined the fight for open records.... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

blank stare	Jesus was not adopted. Apparently, you need to reread your Bible. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Randy B	Mary was his mother and God was his father so I guess that makes Joseph his step-father? I don't think he received any money so it's not as though we could call him his foster father. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lady Rowan	are you serious?? Honestly? Jesus was with his biological mother. Now i think you are just trying to make people angry. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

H******	No. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tish	so was the "son of sam" your point? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Linny G	Yeah, but he lived with his N mom, and knew who his n father was. edited to add: MAYBE- your response wins my "response of the day" award. "When Jesus had the audacity to insist that Joseph was not his father and that he wanted his original birth certifcate which proved God was his real father, he was promptly arrested and executed. Moral of the story for adoptees: don't make too much noise about wanting to know your daddy." Can I use that in my act??? LOVE IT!!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

OE	No. There was no need for adoption because under the applicable law of the time he was the son of Joseph. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lillie	No. Mary gave birth to him in a stable, God proclaimed him as His son all along, nobody sealed his records and altered his birth certificate, and in the end, he went back to His Daddy. Nice try though. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Stop the Hate Love instead	Yes one could say that Jesus was "adopted" it wasn’t like the adoption perhaps one thinks of today, there were no papers; God didn’t give up his rights to Jesus. However Joseph was his earthly father he was the one that raised Jesus taught him the trade of being a wood worker he loved Jesus because he was his son just as much as the other children he and Mary later had. Jesus also knew and had relationship with his father God. Jesus loved both of his fathers. In care of the Pharaohs? You are talking about Moses who also was technically was adopted in order to safe his life. Jesus was never in the care of the Pharaohs. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
