It's more like a step parent situation, step father adoption if you must call it adoption. To call God a birthfather is kind of insane. And it's an open adoption, if you must say adoption. To top it all off, when Jesus flies off to Heaven he is reunited with God. So perhaps it's a reunion story more than one of adoption OR it's an open adoption step parent adoption story that ends in reunion where he moves back in with his birthfather. Does that make Mary a birthmother? Or is she only a birthmother when an adoptive mother is involved? Mary and Jesus were never separated so it’s not really like adoption.
