Definition: In the English Bible, "adoption" has two main meanings: 1. The act or process of bringing someone into a family; adoption means to receive a child as a member of one's own family. 2. An action taken in a church or institution where an individual is accepted as a part of its community and becomes a member thereof. The word "adoption" has its origins in the Old Testament, when Abraham adopted his son Isaac at ages 30 (Genesis 17:6) and 45 years later when Isaac became a man. This adoption was considered a covenant between God and Abraham's descendants. In modern times, adoption is seen as a positive aspect of family formation that encourages children to grow closer to their biological parents in their lives.
