natural law and adopting a child

[aisaka11]

hi could any help me give an advantage / disadvantage of adopting a child using any of the 5 precept of natural law that can be applied . i dont really understand much about it so i thought posting a thread in the forum. The situation was that a couple cannot bear a child so they were planning to adopt a child as an option

These are the 5 primary precept of natural law
1. Self-preservation/preservation of the innocent
2. Continuation of the species through reproduction
3. Education of children
4. To live in society
5. To worship God

Those are simply human customs not natural law. There are certainly issues surrounding adoption though. Sometimes kids have emotional problems from being neglected.
