Add to the family (5)

I believe the answer is:

adopt

'add to the family' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for adopt that I've seen before include "Assume (attitude)" , "Espouse" , "Accept as one's own" , "choose as candidate" , "Start to wear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the LA Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Newsday, the L.A. Times Daily and the USA Today.
