Thingol and Túrin too.

There was certainly great love in all of these relationships, and they were all beneficial to both parties....I....think? Could argue?

Have any other authors (who never had such experiences as Tolkien) placed as great an emphasis on adoption and foster care in their books? It immediately strikes me as a pretty straight-forward consequence of the author's life.

Interesting topic.
