Adopcja prawna i Duchowa Adopcja Dziecka Poczętego. Uwagi pastoralne

Abstract

The ongoing wars in the world somehow force us to look for answers to questions about the meaning of our existence, the dignity of the human person and injustice caused by the aggression of the stronger. Such questions, however, do not concern war in its general sense. For decades, a war has been waged that is equally bloody and unjust, with defenceless unborn children as victims. In the context of continuous public debates on abortion in Poland, attempts to introduce new legal regulations concerning the issue of abortion and on the 30th anniversary of the Act on Family Planning, Protection of the Human Fetus and the Conditions for Permissibility of Abortion, the author reflects on the possibility to engage in the protection of the life of the conceived children carried out in two dimensions of adoption - legal and spiritual. Their concise characterisation is intended to make all people of good will aware of the possibility of undertaking in their everyday life the struggle in defence of unborn children and to encourage them to take the side of the lovers of life.
