Ah, I think there're 2 types of adoption in the Tower.

1) You get adopted into a family and you get considered as one of the members and you have their family name. Zahard's Princesses is the same. This is formal or full adoption. Same for Androssi Zahard, I think she was eventually accepted as one of the branch Family she belonged to. That way, they could claim her as one of their own when presenting her as a Princess candidate.

2) Like the rankers into Hendo's family, you get partially adopted to uphold its rules and so on, in exchange for privileges. I don't know if you can get into SIU's hidden blog or not.

It's like Mule Love. The proof is he retains his birth surname but he's part of the Chicken Love family. I don't know whether his Love name is from the Chicken Love family or not though lol. This is partial or informal adoption.

Sorry for being so fussy, GoDai. have to be careful about this stuff.
