the Roman idea of adoption
Adoption in ancient Rome -
Adoption was carried out by the male who was head of his family, the paterfamilias, and his adopting did not make his wife a mother. Nor was marriage required; an adult bachelor could adopt in order to pass along his family name and potestas, as could a citizen eunuch (Latin spado)
In the context of Rom 7-8, the adoption includes the change from the status of a slave to that of a son. An adopted son has the same rights as a normal son including the right of heritage. The key information is that Christians are heirs, therefore, they have the right to fulfilling the promises of God.
