An "adoption" in chess is when one player beats another 10 in a row in the same time control, with no draws.
An adoption occurred on Chess Grandmaster Eric Hansen's twitch stream when he was challenged by Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura and proceeded to lose ten games in a row to Hikaru.

A person that doesn't need to be sad because they are adopted. Some people are actually happy in adopted families.

What I am. Something that not only happens to a person but plays a major part in shaping who they are, what they do and how they treat others. It's no ones fault. Understand, Deal and Move On. You'll only burn if you can't get past it.

A term usually seen on furry art sites such as DeviantART, Inkbunny, etc. An adoptable is a custom-made cartoon/furry character, specificly made to be sold to someone who is unoriginal and/or too lazy to make their own unique character. Adoptables are usually auctioned off and end up going for ridiculous amounts, even surpassing $200 at times.
Artist: Adoptable for auction! She is an adorable husky with a big love for cookies!
Guy 1: I bid $10!
Guy 2: NO! I get to have her! $20!
Guy 1: $30!
Guy 2: $100!! No, $200!!!
Guy 1: Chill, dude. You can have her, jeez.

A 1.4 billion dollar industry in which American couples buy a baby from a third world country for $10,000 to $50,000 USD. There is a strong correlation between the price of the baby and the race of the baby.
During the selection process, every attempt is made to purchase a non-defective human.
Significant portions of the transaction wind up lining the pockets of corrupt third world government officials and shady the non-profit orgagizations involved in connecting the buyers of babies with the sellers of babies.

Angelina Jolie recently paid a lot of money in a shady Tijuana adoption transaction and she wound up getting ripped off.
