Does procreation include the possibility of adoption?

Sir Clive Crook with “Let the rich go forth and multiply” has really fired up my interest in reading Gregory Clark’s upcoming “A farewell to Alms: A brief Economic History of the World”, August 10. Besides of course forcing me to look up the meaning of “alms” it also left me with the question of whether this generous procreation of the rich so that it spills over into the less fortunate development method does also extend to Angelina Jolie’s adoptions of poor children.
