Why?

We're culturaly indoctrinated to believe that there's some sort of connection between people who are blood relatives.

Obviously there are connections that can hardly happen between non-related parents/children:

- a genetic connection.

- in the case of most mothers/fathers, an emotional bond (i.e. connection) that starts forming as soon as the mother gets pregnant. The baby can hear the parents' voices, the parents can feel the baby's movements and sometimes see the baby in medical exams, etc etc...

- the simple idea of "possession" ("we made this baby and it's ours"). Consciously or subconsciously, I find it hard to argue that this connection doesn't exist in the minds of most parents.

I don't understand why you would deny all these obvious connections and attribute everything to cultural indoctrination.
