  1. Adopt? When I was littler I was always curious if I was adopted or not. I always asked my parents to figure the truth but Ialways got the same answer.

I’ll adopt your conditions so long as you give me just a bit more time to get my affairs in order.” “Will two weeks be enough.” I turned back to him. “I suppose so.” He stood, the chair squealing across the linoleum floor, and walked out of the room without another word. I put my head in my hands. This is it, we’re finally done.

  15. “We can’t just adopt it,” I said. He wasn’t happy. It was a policy he’d been working on for some time and thought my reaction was given. Now he looked at me as though I had just shot his hamster and then trod on it.

  16. To adopt is to make something our own. Whether you adopt a child or a principle or vice, we make it our own. It’s a useful thing to do. When you have a problem, adopt it.

When you make a problem your own, then it becomes less of a threat and more of a learning experience.
