Catechism of the Catholic Church - PART 2 SECTION 2 CHAPTER 3 ARTICLE 7: "1653 The fruitfulness of conjugal love extends to the fruits of the moral, spiritual, and supernatural life that parents hand on to their children by education. Parents are the principal and first educators of their children.164 In this sense the fundamental task of marriage and family is to be at the service of life.165 "
Obviously as adoptive parents, our fruitfulness as a couple was not in bringing these precious children into the world...but I love the above passage of the Catechism...it explains what our fuitfulness IS. This is a role that we take seriously!
