Take as one's own (5)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

adopt

'take as one's own' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for adopt that I've seen before include "Choose as one's own" , "Embrace" , "Formally approve" , "Accept as one's own" , "make one's own" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the King Feature Syndicate, The Star Tribune and the Penny Press.
