I'd be much more inclined to agree with that if the adoption agencies were short on children and the world population weren't already staggeringly high. Until those things change though, I don't see adoption as any kind of morally superior alternative.
The atoms that make up you and me were born in the hearts of suns many times greater than ours, and in time our atoms will once again reside amongst the stars. Life is but an idle dalliance of the cosmos, frail, and soon forgotten. We have been set adrift in an ocean whose tides we are only beginning to comprehend and with that maturity has come the realization that we are, at least for now, alone. In that loneliness, it falls to us to shine as brightly as the stars from which we came.
