That was actually the key point in a competing early tradition against the cannonical version we all know.
It basically pushed for people to realize that the guy calling everyone brother and sister wasn't claiming to be an only child, but that everyone was literally the child of a creator with salvation as their birthright.
The problem was this meant that prayer and fasting and most importantly - giving money to priests and the church - was pointless. You basically got salvation by default because much like in Solomon's decision, a true parent is the one that wants its child to live and thrive even if it isn't even known to the child, and it's the false parent that is willing to see the child suffer and die, only caring about recognition.
Some of the lines from the text this tradition was centered around are great:
This text and its perspectives were such a threat to both the church and the Roman empire (one of its sayings called for an end of dynastic monarchy), that after the emperor of Rome put together the canonization at the council of Nicaea in short order this text ended up literally punishable by death to possess it and we only know what it says today because a single complete copy survived buried in a jar for nearly two millennia.
It may have even had Solomon's decision referenced above in mind given not only its similar perspectives of due inheritance but that the story was about the child of a prostitute and one of its sayings was:
(Note: Elsewhere this text stresses to "make the male and female into a single one," so the 'Father' elsewhere may have been a side effect of Aramaic's binary genders with no neutral 'Parent' to have used instead and "father and mother" here in this saying may have been intended more to emphasize the motherly qualities of a singular divine parent than to have been about two separate parents.)
