Adoptive parents

[edit]

Should there be a corresponding category at Category:Fictional adoptive parents? While it seems almost obvious, I think there might be far fewer characters to include. The only examples I can think of offhand are Ma and Pa Kent of Superman and Mr. Bennet of Heroes. LeaHazel : talk : contribs 10:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As categories for fictional parents have been deleted, I think the same would happen for adoptive parents. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 18:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's the same situation. Fictional parent categories would be overpopulated because they're very broad. Fictional adoptive parents is a much narrower, more specific category, much like this one. If the fact that someone is adopted merits a category, I think the fact that they have adopted does, too. Doubly so, in fact, because while adoption is a common enough backstory for characters, most fictional characters have biological children (I'd say even the vast majority).
