Equitable Adoption: The legal process that is used in some states to establish inheritance rights for a child when the prospective adoptive parent had entered into an oral contract expressing his or her desire and intention to adopt the child, pursuant to which the child was placed in the physical custody of the parent, but was not formally adopted before the parent died.
