A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, “adopt” refers to the formal process by which a person takes another person into his or her family, creating a legal parent-child relationship where none existed before. This process typically involves a court order and results in the adopted individual having the same legal rights and privileges as a biological child.
Example: The couple decided to adopt a child from the local orphanage.
