Dreaming that an adoption falls through - dream meaning with inherited lore

While preparing for an adoption, your paperwork is rejected, or the adoption is canceled at the last moment. You may be left feeling empty or sorry, and you may even see yourself sending the child away again.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams about an adoption falling through have sometimes been interpreted as showing unexpected changes in a relationship or plan you had been hoping for. Rather than treating this as a prediction of an actual breakup or failure, they may also be seen as a scene revealing anxiety within you. (In folk dream interpretations, a scene where a hoped-for relationship is broken off is sometimes connected with changes in a relationship or delays in a plan.)

Through the mind: You may want a new relationship or plan while also worrying about being rejected or failing to live up to your responsibilities. Recent postponed plans or unfinished matters may also have blended into the dream.
