Getting adopted

Joining the adoption program is easy, and there are two ways of getting adopted.

Find your own adopter: look at the list of adopters who are actively seeking new adoptees; this list has information about the interests and abilities of the adopters, so if you find one you like, contact them on their talk page and ask to be adopted.

Let an adopter find you: just edit your user page and add {{subst:dated|adoptme}}. Save the page, and soon an experienced user should come by and offer to adopt you. If you like, you can also add a little information about yourself to your user page so potential adopters will know your interests.

If you've been adopted and you don't think that your adopter is a good fit for you, just let them know and then follow this process again to get a new adopter.

If you are having problems with your adopter, please leave a message on the main adopt-a-user talk page and other editors will do what they can to help you. If you have an urgent query, please place {{helpme}} on your user talk page followed by your query.
