Definition
To formally accept - the Declaration was adopted July 4, 1776.
Adopt in plain English
In this setting, to adopt means to formally accept or officially approve something, like a group voting to make a document official. The famous example: the Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776, meaning that's the day the Founders officially agreed to it and made it real. It's less like adopting a pet and more like a team saying 'Yes, this is now our official plan.'
