Adoption
The compound phrase (‘to be received/found as a child’) captures full incorporation into the family. Zulu extended-family and clan structures already carry a strong cultural sense of full belonging and mutual obligation once someone is received into a family, which is a genuine asset for teaching Romans 8:15-17’s full-inheritance-rights sense.
