A Kent Family tradition
In the local comic store, in the 50-cent bin, there were quite a few of Chris Claremont's SOVEREIGN SEVENs. There were many lovely bits in them, but this one in issue #23, has implications for a far more famous character...as we see that Clark's adoption might be only part of a Kent family tradition, as Rhian Douglas, also known as Cascade, visits Smallville.

Shall I note that the art is by the magnificent and much-missed Dave Cockrum?
Enjoy.
In the final issue, it was revealed that the whole Sovereign Seven saga was a story made up to amuse a woman and her child. I hope that this part, somehow, will be incorporated in the Superman canon, regardless. It would be nice to know that Jonathan and Martha were not only the best parents ever, but that Jonathan was following a family tradition of taking in foundlings from cultures different from his own.
