User blog comment:Zathsu/A Misconception Running Around... At Least I Think/@comment-28857013-20160517112749

I don't see any adoptions as far as my effortless checking goes.

Though if making a conception with the same name already suffices, then sure, go ahead. But the real purpose of Adoption is that one sees potential in a conception, but the author of it has given up on it (or that it is dead), then the conception can be adopted for further development. It's not a way to claim ownership of an idea or a name, we don't really enforce things like that, but criticizes of it being unoriginal is not our problem.

I have just edited the policies because, the actual adoption didn't really allow asking for adoptions somehow, and that really should be allowed, plus the fact that it already happened some time earlier.

Btw, there's really nothing of a problem with rejections. Say if you're asked by someone to give all your money or valuable items, you really wouldn't want to accept that. It's completely OK to reject an adoption if you have no plans on ever giving away your own conceptions.
