"We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another, as if we were one single tribe."
~ Black Panther.
It would be a powerful positive statement about the character, after all, she did, with some understandable struggle, adopt Chris Kent (Lor-Zod), in prior continuity. Kids are not cheap. I am saying that as a parent. While she has her imperfections, I don't swe it as beyond her to adopt a kid. I certainly think it's possible, in spite of all the PIS that DC has dealt her so far.
What is wrong is that only Lois is the one taking care of Jon. Why should be She be the only one who has to have this sacrifice, the financial burden of raising him. Clark should be has well. He should be a father to Jon because he is technically Clark is his father and also because he knows what Jon is going though. Jon is presented to be Clark's heir like Damien is Bruce's, according to the teaser, then Clark should be his mentor. Also it is in Clark's character to help out and in Lois's character to make sure he did.
Its not a problem if she makes the decision of her own free will. That kinda goes part and parcel with a person being just a general decent human being wanting to help a child. And no, Clark is not technically his father. Lois is not technically his mother. In my scenario she'd be his guardian not because its her responsibility to be so, but because she wants to do so. Big difference. Clark doesn't have that responsibility either, but unlike Lois, he's ill-equipped to take it on even if he wanted to considering his lifestyle and the fact he no longer has a secret identity. Someone to teach how to use powers? If his true father isn't around, sure. But Superman's life is hardly on the side of stable and safe enough for a child. And in my estimation, pre-FP Superman and Lois would be the very first people to realize that if they have a say (say in any given situation in which they might prepare for a potential separation from their son).
Again, I get not liking the theory but its being misrepresented by saying "oh, why does Lois have to do it and not Clark?" Its completely missing the point. She doesn't have to. Not every choice you make in life is because you have to. Not every responsibility one chooses to take on is forced upon them. Sometimes people take things that are not inherently their responsibility and make it so via their own free will do to so. A foster child is not the foster family's responsibility because its forced on them or its naturally theirs. It becomes their responsibility because they choose to take it. Same thing in this theory. Nothing more nothing less. And hell it could all prove moot as I could easily be wrong and Superdad just loses his powers and they live as the normal Elliots.

Your idea is fantastic. It's been made clear that the pre-Flashpoint characters are staying on Earth-0, as the info about AC says Superman and Lois return to Metropolis because Luthor (Earth-0) has declared himself "The Superman of Metropolis." As for a merging, I don't know how that would even work, but with Johns, I'm sure it will be strange and ultimately more convoluted than simply using the Multiverse.
That's what I'd love to see. Give me that title on the pre-Flashpoint Earth, and I'll buy the team up issues with Earth-0 Superman. Pre-COIE Superman was much more like the Earth-2 Superman once he married Lois, anyway. The dynamic would be fun.
I don't think we'll ever see (at least under DiDio) what became of Wally and the pre-Flashpoint Earth, which I still maintain was erased at the end of Convergence. DiDio wouldn't want to bring it back whole cloth, as it would be a pretty big admission that he was wrong.
Is Jon Kent supposed to be Pre New 52 Supermans son? If I remember correctly he and Lois could not have a kid, that was a large part of Geoff Johns run on action and why Chris Kent was important for a time.
"Thank" Convergence for this. When PFP Gotham was snatched up by Telos and sealed in a sun-blocking dome for a year while PFP L&C were there, PFP Clark eventually burns out his solar reserves and becomes mere human-strength. This enables him and PFP Lois to get busy and have Jonathan Samuel Kent without incident (with the bonus of Thomas Wayne!Batman performing the delivery later on in the event).

It wasn't actually his reserves burning out. There was some kind of universal power suppressor in those domes. Their effect was kind of inconsistent (in Harley Quinn, they even cured insanity). But, either way, it's basically that power suppressor that allowed them to have a son.
