Exactly. One of my friends adopted her god-daughter, another friend's mother adopted a first cousin when they were toddlers, and my acquaintance adopted her teenage nephew (with his badass).

All neglected kids who needed reliable parents who are good role models. Black folks don't see this as the same kind of adoption as adopting a stranger's kid.
