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 do. (Of course, lefum tza'arah agra in this case
doesn't only refer to sechar in olam haba... <g>)

============================================
I agree 100%, he writes about this in riveting prose in Family Redeemed.
My point was though that no one iiuc would say that someone who is
capable of procreation would be "yotze" pru urvu through adoption.
