All children are a result of the *one flesh* union between a man and a woman. The fact that they’re no longer living with the parents who brought them into this world is totally irrelevant.

You are right and you are wrong. Yes, only a man and woman can create one flesh. No, the bible speaks of the union of a man and woman becoming one flesh. This is deeper than simple precreative math. When a man and woman commit to one another their reward is to create a child in their joined image. It is this joining between man, woman and child that is precious and holy and speaks to the spirit and soul. This is unique. Sadly, many children do not get this complete dose of mega cosmic love and are handicapped thereafter. Yes - regardless of condition, all children should be loved, but then adults should grow up and accept their adult roles. This seems to be the problem. My point is the concept of “one flesh” is heavy, big, and meaningful. It is sobering and uplifting at all times.
