Adoption means choosing to belong to each other, and that's often what these dreams are really about. Adopting a child or a pet can mean you're willing to take on a new responsibility, nurture an idea or open your life to someone new. Dreaming that you were adopted may reflect questions about where you fit in, or a wish to understand your roots. For people with adoption in their own story, the dream can simply bring up feelings about family, love and identity. In every case, it's a reminder that bonds can be chosen and built.
