Definition: To take by choice into relationship (a child, heir, friend, citizen, etc.)
Alright class, settle down, let’s have a look, At this word ‘adopted,’ and what it means in book! The dictionary tells us, clear and bright, It’s about choosing, with all your might. “To take by choice,” that's the key you see, Into a family, happy and free! Think of a child, needing a loving space, Someone to cherish, with warmth and grace. An ‘adopted’ child finds a brand new start, A family chosen, with a hopeful heart. It’s not about birth, or where you came from, dear, But love and belonging, banishing fear! Heirs and friends, citizens too, 'Adopted' means welcome, for me and for you! Does that make sense? Any questions arise?
