** The canonical example of [[{{ComicBook/Superman}} Clark Kent]] is present, as usual, and revealed to have been engineered, as it was all but stated to have been on ''{{Series/Smallville}}'' - not that the Kents would love him, but that he would end up with them ''because'' they would love him. As with ''Smallville'' canon, Jor-El met Hiram Kent (Jonathan's father) and got a favourable impression, before he and Lara decided on observation that Jonathan and Martha were "cut from the same cloth." However, he also considers other ideas, such as Alison Carter (who he brings it up to - she rules herself out on the grounds that she's too visible and her parenting record is mixed) and Charles Xavier (who Alison rules out as he's busy with eviscerating the Weapon X program). Instead, she goes some way to ensuring Clark's adoption is smoothed from behind the scenes, which becomes much more difficult when Clark's rocket brings along an unexpected meteor shower's worth of debris, and acts his most powerful SecretKeeper and ''de facto'' godmother.

** Remy [=LeBeau=] is complicated, being a street kid [[spoiler: and, unknowingly, an altered child-clone of Scott Summers who escaped from one of Sinister's labs]] adopted by crime lord Jean-Luc [=LeBeau=]. It's suggested that there's some genuine affection there, but when Remy stays away from the crime family, he's left to fend for himself. He doesn't seem to mind too much, and he's not initially eager to connect with his biological family - though that's more down to feelings of shame and low self-esteem than anything else.

* The Project Motherhood series by [=Gamer95=] on Fanfiction.Net runs almost entirely on this trope, having female or sometimes genderswapped versions of fictional characters rescuing Harry Potter [Sometimes Crona from Soul Eater or Isaac from The Binding of Isaac] from an intensely abusive living condition and raising them as their own child.

* ''Fanfic/{{Spider-Ninja}}'': Four-year-old Petra Parker, after losing her Aunt May and Uncle Ben in a traumatic event, is taken in by Master Splinter and raised alongside his four turtle sons (who were also adopted).
