    if a persons worth is due to them having or adopting a kid, wouldn't that bring into play an abusive situation, they adopt this kid, but they don't care about it, all they want is the personal power in having a kid. worse case you would have people adopting kids, then neglecting and abusing and killing them for their own personal power. does this self worth of having kids end at some point, could say you have a kid till its 5, and then adopt it out, or it dies, or is murdered by the parents, do they still have more worth than a childless/childfree person. you will get people adopting just to get SS or to vote, and wont actually care about the kids. so abuse and neglect, and more screwed up humans, ad infinitum
