I would rather have seen her being the (first-run) adopted daughter of Same and Ellen.
This would never have worked. Sam and Ellen's marriage was so dysfunctional, Lois would not have turned out well if she had been raised with them from the beginning. Lois needed "Mama" to raise her during those first impressionable childhood years, to make her turn out right.
I think that depends. I feel like the Season One versions of Same and Ellen might well have been able to pull together to raise her a little better than you're suggesting.

CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.
