History HappilyAdopted / AnimeAndManga

* The very first ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' featured Sayla Mass, also known as [[spoiler:Artesia Som Deikun]] and her brother Edward Mass [[spoiler:Casval Rem Deikun, or more commonly [[CharClone Char Aznable]]]] being adopted by Don Teabolo Mass after their parents died. By all accounts, they were very happy with him, which made it all the more tragic when assassins attacked them and Don later died from his injuries.

** Chopper, Sanji (somewhat, as he gets into a lot of arguments with his adoptive father but loves him anyway), Franky, Law, and [[spoiler:Ace, Sabo and Luffy]], too.

** Chopper, Sanji (somewhat, as he gets into a lot of arguments with his adoptive father but loves him anyway), Franky, Law, and [[spoiler:Ace and Luffy]], too.

** Fate readily accepts being adopted by Admiral Lindy after working through her issues with Precia, [[spoiler:her [[CloningBlues creator]].]]

** Vivio ends up adopted by [[HasTwoMommies Fate and Nanoha]]. She considers them both her mothers, though [[HideYourLesbians the series is still very hesitant to call them a couple]].

* Ruu in ''Manga/UFObaby'' accepts Miyu and Kanata as his "mama" and "papa," so they worry about what will happen when he sees his ''real'' mother and father through a hologram machine for the first time in a long time. [[spoiler:He ends up happily hugging ''all four of them,'' having cheerfully decided that he HasTwoMommies and Has Two Daddies as well.]]

** When humans die, their souls travel to the Rukongai in Soul Society. Since nobody ever finds their blood relatives who died before them, they form adoptive families. Hitsugaya and Hinamori are both adopted a kind old woman they refer to as their grandmother. Even after they enter the Gotei 13 and become highly ranked Shinigami, they continue to regularly visit her and look after her.

* ''Literature/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom'': Keith wasn't this on the original ''Fortune Lover'' timeline, due to a few misunderstandings (he was born from an affair that a relative of Catarina's father had, and his wife mistakenly thought he was his biological child, [[AffairBlameTheBastard so she took to lash out on him]]). However, when the new Catarina makes the events go OffTheRails, the misunderstanding is cleared up, not only fixing [[HappilyMarried her parents' marriage]], but also giving Keith an overall happy life as part of their family.

* ''Anime/SwordArtOnline'': Kirito and Asuna end up adopting a young girl named Yui, who they meet on Floor 22 of Aincrad. It later transpires that [[TomatoInTheMirror Yui is in fact]] SAO's [[InstantAIJustAddWater Mental Health Counseling Program 001]]; as far as Kirito and Asuna are concerned, that just means they need to make some adjustments to live as a family when they get back to the real world. Every part of the series from the end of the ''Fairy Dance'' arc onward shows them as a happy family, with all of their friends fully aware of the dynamic.

* ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'''s Firo Prochainezo is so attached to his family that [[UndyingLoyalty he'd slit his own throat simply because they asked]]. The fact that the family in question is [[TheMafia the Camorra]] is insubstantial. He grew up in the same apartment as the Gandor brothers and is still in a good relationship with them even though they run a different gang.

* ''LightNovel/KyoKaraMaoh'' has Greta, who zigzags this one slightly. After her mother gave her up [[spoiler: to protect her. Long story.]] she lived her distant family members who ignored and neglected her. She runs away and attempts to assasinate the Demon King, Yuuri Shibuya, whom her adoptive parents hated in a bout to earn their love. However when the assasination attempt fails, and after a short adventure, the surprisingly understanding demon king and his fiancé adopt Greta and actually become very loving father figures, playing this trope straight.

* ''LightNovel/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom'': Keith wasn't this on the original ''Fortune Lover'' timeline, due to a few misunderstandings (he was born from an affair that a relative of Catarina's father had, and his wife mistakenly thought he was his biological child, [[AffairBlameTheBastard so she took to lash out on him]]). However, when the new Catarina makes the events go OffTheRails, the misunderstanding is cleared up, not only fixing [[HappilyMarried her parents' marriage]], but also giving Keith an overall happy life as part of their family.

* Happens quite a few times in ''LightNovel/TheStoryOfSaiunkoku''. Kou Shouka and his wife Shoukun took in Seiran, who is [[spoiler: the exiled prince Seien]], and Shusui. Shouka's brother Reishin adopted Kouyuu. Sa Enjun rescues Kourin from starvation. The adopted children love and respect their foster parents dearly, [[WellDoneSonGuy sometimes a bit too much]].
* In ''LightNovel/SundayWithoutGod'' Ai is adopted by Youki and Anna after her mother dies, and they do their best to make her happy, [[spoiler:even hiding the fact she's the only living person in the whole village]], and later [[spoiler:Julie]] becomes her guardian after [[spoiler:she loses her entire village and reconciles with her birth father Hampnie when he dies]]. Also, after the Ortus arc [[spoiler:baby Celica is quite happily adopted by Scar.]]

* Implied with Mio and Maria in ''LightNovel/TheTestamentOfSisterNewDevil''. Even after they tried to deceive Basara, he still considers them family after learning more about their past from his father.

* Hachi from ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaInTheWanNyanSpacetimeOdyssey'' is an andromorphic dog (in a world of sentient cats and dogs) adopted and raised by cats, and spends much of the adventure trying to rescue his cat mother from the main villain, a FatCat.
