Dream about adoption

Adoption is the act of reaching out to take a responsibility that was not yours to begin with. This kind of dream shows a person taking on a weight or a duty that belongs to another house or another life. It is the act of opening your arms to a task that requires a sudden, unfamiliar kind of care.

The way you handle these new duties can shift the feeling of the dream. A child who is brought into your care is often the seed of a new hope, much like a garden that grows where you least expected it. I often feel a new weight upon my shoulders in my own life, just as you do. You have the strength to tend to these new things, dear. This path offers a way to settle into a different kind of life.

The act of giving a child up for adoption shows a moment where you release the bright hopes you have been tending. This is the feeling of a season ending, when the care you offered has done its work and you are ready to let the matter rest.

To see yourself giving a baby up for adoption is to realize that a fresh path is opening, yet it is one you are not meant to walk yourself. Since a baby is the very first breath of a new way of life, this dream shows you placing a budding idea into someone else’s hands before it has even fully taken root.
