Adopt and Raise Fans/Adopt and Raise

Adopt and Raise (previously called Adopt, Adopt and Raise a Baby and Adopt and Raise a Cute Kid) is a roleplay game created by on January 26, 2014, and currently owned by the group Adopt and Raise Fans.
==Creation (2014)==
Adopt and Raise a Cute Kid was created on January 26, 2014, heavily inspired by 's 2013 game with virtually the same name. Not much is known about the original map of Adopt and Raise a Cute Kid, however you can view the appearance of the game in 2015 by looking at old YouTube videos. Adopt and Raise a Cute Kid was likely involved in a bait and switch scam, as the game was reuploaded onto another place by the creator on March 14, 2015, and an immediate teleporter remains on the original place.
==2016 revamp==
On January 3, 2016, the game's map underwent a revamp. A river was added which flowed into the lake, and roads were placed in slightly different areas. The tower in the middle of the map was removed, and most buildings were replaced. The game was also uploaded onto a new place by the creator, and the original place was renamed to "Live Life Rich and Famous" which is still playable and features the old map. The adoption center building was replaced later on in 2016.
==Popularity (2016)==
Adopt and Raise a Cute Kid began seeing increased popularity throughout 2016 and 2017, and was played by lots of YouTubers. This ultimately got the game on the front page of Roblox.
==Further updates (2017)==
In 2017, Adopt and Raise a Cute Kid received some minor changes to the map. Some houses were replaced with new ones and the road was revamped. The premium car spawn was also revamped. One of the roads towards the back of the map was replaced with the clothes store, which had previously sat at a different place in the map. Later on, the clothes store returned to its original place, with a pool area being placed in the empty space. The strollers were revamped in August 2017, and a gamepass was added which allowed players to choose the colour of their stroller. The boats were replaced with jetskis, and the park was revamped. The other park was replaced with a restaurant in October 2017 where players could work to earn money. The daycare and petcare buildings were also revamped a couple of times.
==Ownership changes (2017)==
On December 7, 2017, Tremity and his alternative account, , were both deleted for "hosting misleading games and broken gamepasses". Videos from that day show players being teleported to an Adopt and Raise Obby while trying to join the real game, and the obby and real game were both taken down by Roblox later on. The game was restored onto a new place under a group named "Adopt and Raise Fans", but the place was also shortly taken down and the group was locked. Because of this, YouTuber offered to take ownership of the game and told Tremity that he would receive 80% of the money made off the game. Tremity accepted this offer, and the game reopened under the name "Adopt and Raise a Baby" after the phrase "Adopt and Raise a Cute Kid" was censored by Roblox. The game was owned by a new Adopt and Raise fans group which was created by Jeremy, but the ownership was later transferred to Jeremy's alt account, . Jeremy's partner, , began working on the game as a developer.Even though the deal was that Tremity was to receive 80% of the money made off the game, he never received anything and Jeremy began saying that he was not cvibes and that cvibes had uploaded an old copy of the game, even though the game was a version from early December 2017. There was ultimately nothing Tremity could do, and Jeremy received 100% of the money made off the game.
==2018-19 revamp==
After Jeremy had received ownership of the game in 2017, he planned to revamp the game to make it look more like games such as MeepCity and Adopt Me, while maintaining the layout of the map. The map stayed the same until mid 2018 when Jeremy began changing colors of lots of building such as
 the houses and the adoption center. Next, the clothes store was moved back to where the pool area was, and the pool area was replaced with a pool which featured slides next to the park. The premium clothes store was briefly at this spot, but was then moved across the road next to the regular clothes store. A new cafe was added, and the school was moved down near the hospital, with a lounge taking its place. The gym was also replaced with a cinema. Another premium car spawn was added near the bridge. The houses which featured a pool were revamped and no longer had pools, and the balconies on them also became smaller. A pet update was introduced where you could buy pets and equip them and trade them at a later date, much like Adopt Me. After this, the map's textures changed and adopted the MeepCity/Adopt Me look. Along with this, the bridge in the game was slightly revamped with a rainbow theme. The game was also renamed to "Adopt and Raise" around this time. Lastly, all houses were revamped, and much more houses were added to the game. A teleporter was also added which brought you to a different map which featured several roads and a road circle in the middle. Houses spawn here each time a player joins the game and they can customize and upgrade it, much like MeepCity and Adopt Me. A copy of the game from mid 2018 was uploaded in the Adopt and Raise Fans group which serves as a classic nostalgic play, along with another version of the game from mid 2017 which Tremity uploaded.
==Present day==
The game is still somewhat popular, however it is no longer on the front page compared to when it would be extremely popular throughout 2016 to 2019. In mid 2022, the game was briefly renamed to simply "Adopt", however the name was changed back to Adopt and Raise in October 2022. The game still receives seasonal updates, but not much has changed since 2019/20.
==Criticism==
Adopt and Raise was criticised heavily throughout 2017 because of the amount of online daters who played the game.
In July 2018, Tremity stated that Jeremy scammed him and the game was stollen. He later elaborated on this in January 2019 and showed message proof that Jeremy had planned to take 100% of the game over from the beginning. He also showed how Jeremy had always planned to strip the game of its original look, and that he described older versions of the game as "crap".
There has been lots of criticism over the new look of the game. "The atmosphere turned from natural and chill to a sickly sweet, detail-lacking eyesore", one person said. Many players who joined prior to 2019 dislike how the game had adopted a completely different look and was stripped of its original self. Most miss the old look of the game for nostalgic reasons and others simply do not like the new look because they think it is unfitting for the game itself. Players have also criticised how they think that Adopt and Raise has become a failed copy of MeepCity and Adopt Me, as lots of the newer updates were very similar to those games.
