Actually, RYBS says there are tvei dinim to piryah verivyah, procreation,
and insuring there are Jews in the next generation. For people incapable
of procreating, adoption does allow one to at least suffer through tza'ar
gidul banim like the rest of us; a qiyum of the one din of PvR they can

sechar in olam haba... <g>)
