But again, none of those men has ever been a Freemason, so we're still not sure what you're going on about...

well if you are not sure what i am going on about let's forget it then and get back to my initial post about adoptions being organised for freemasons, by freemasons...

this may not have happened in your lodges but it was rumoured to have happened in Australia until the mid 1970's... it is info on this which i seek

Yes, that is what I am refering to and none of the persons you mentioned was a Mason. The last United States President to be a Mason was Gerald Ford.

i have since found some 'evidence' that some French and German lodges have an "adoption ceremony" where they adopt a new born into the lodge
adoption into the lodge

if this can happen surely it is possible that some lodges or freemasons take it to the next level?

No, this ritual is more like a baptism, christening, or god-parent ceremony. Nothing to do with actual adoption.

The practice of "Masonic adoption", also called baptism or lustration, is more akin to the selection of a godfather than of a change of parentage. It also took place almost exclusively within the Scottish Rite or lodges working Scottish Rite ritual, which Australia, following UK traditions, generally doesn't have. On top of all of that, it's exceedingly rare.

You forget that "possible" is not your benchmark. Nor do I believe that anonymous surrogate baby farms are the next level after "hey, we'll take care of your kid if something happens to you.
