The daughter's biological mother was not Jewish. The daughter was raised Jewish so my question would be, from a strict interpretation, is she considered Jewish? I suspect she would be equivalent to someone who has gone through conversion to Judaism but was just curious to find out for sure.

Part two of my question is when she gets older and has a child of her own, if that child decides to not be a practicing Jew, would he or she be considered Jewish?

100% NOT JEWISH.

She is Jewish if the mother had her new child converted by a bet din when she adopted her.

--- End quote ---
HiWarp didn't state that.

I guess so, but I was thinking that if there was no conversion at all performed, why would there be a question...

The ones who don't know ask. Clearly Hiwarp didn't know.

I don't know whether there was a conversion performed. She only told me that she decided to raise her daughter Jewish. I will try to find out.
