All you have to do is completely ignore whatever GMHainanairlines6194 is saying. That guy seems to be a troll and is talking complete nonsense in all his posts.
As many people have already said, "adoption" is to win 10 in a row. One loss (or even a draw) and it fails.

What's exactly an adoption? What does it mean to adopt a player? And are there any requirements to adopt a player? And after adopting a player, what happens?!
win 10 in a row, nothing happens just a funny term for 10 wins in a row, 20 is called double adoption, etc
What da hail
Adoption shouldn't be this difficult
clear winner in many games

You need to win 10 games in a row against a player to claim you've adopted him. If you win 9 and then draw or lose the 10th, it's not adoption.
It needs to be 10 in a row. That is my understanding
