Dreaming of connecting with a child you will adopt - dream meaning with inherited lore

While going through the adoption process, you hear that you have been matched with a particular child. You feel excited looking at photos or documents, or wonder how to welcome a child who is still unfamiliar to you.

Traditionally, though, it may be seen as a scene in which a new relationship is formed or a new responsibility enters the household. (Modern adoption scenes are closer to a folk interpretive approach that reads changes in relationships and family than to traditional lists of symbols.)
