Adopted
Adoption in a dream gathers the themes of chosen belonging — bonds made rather than born. It can point to fortune arriving through unexpected hands, or the taking-in of something not originally ours. The dream tends to ask what we are choosing to claim as family, and what we hope to nurture into our own.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for adopted, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see your adopted child, or parent, in your dreams, indicates that you will amass fortune through the schemes and speculations of strangers.
To dream that you or others are adopting a child, you will make an unfortunate change in your abode.
