Dream dictionary: Adoption (Of A Child) dream meanings
Dreaming of adopting children, young people or adults, suggests that the dreamer seeks to empathize at some level with society, in order to succeed and maybe become rich, of course at the expense of gullible, naive or foreign people. Dreaming of adopting a child indicates that the dreamer wishes to sympathize with others because he feels lonely. Adopting a child represents a change in life, and therefore there may be a change of house or city, or perhaps employment or business, or for anything in which you have found major setbacks. It could also indicate that you dont want some of your neighbors to move out, because you fear that new and unfriendly or undesirable neighbors get into the neighborhood. Dreaming that youre adopted indicates insecurity and that you need external aid.
