adoptan

Adoptan is a term that occurs in multiple linguistic contexts but does not denote a single, widely recognized concept in English-language reference works. In Spanish, adoptan is the third-person plural present indicative form of the verb adoptar, meaning "they adopt" or "they are adopting." It appears in ordinary sentences such as "Ellos adoptan a un niño" (They adopt a child) and can be used in legal, journalistic, or narrative text to describe the action of multiple subjects adopting someone or something.

As a standalone word in other contexts, adoptan generally lacks a defined meaning. It can appear as part of a proper noun, brand name, or transcription from another language, but these uses are not standardized or widely documented.

Because adoptan does not correspond to a unique concept, there is no dedicated encyclopedia article. When encountered, its interpretation depends on the surrounding language and context. Related linguistic forms include adoptar (to adopt), adopción (adoption in Spanish), and the English words adopt and adoption.
