Something I was wondering about. - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Ya, my first thread. Ahem, anyway.

I saw the screen grabs for Better Off Ed. Unfortunately I missed the ep, stupid cable. Anyway seeing the friends in the nursery made me wonder something.

Is it possible to adopt an imaginary friend? Not as an imaginary friend, mind you, but as a son or daughter? Take the imaginary friends in the nursery, for example. What if a couple, unable to have children of their own were visiting the mansion one day, for whatever reason. What if they saw these cute little imaginary friends and wanted to legally adopt one?

Would something like that even be possible and if so, how difficult would it be?

I, personally don't see it as beeing illegal to adopt an imaginary friend as a child, mainly because nobody ever considered the matter before. And in the show, kids who create imaginary friends are technically considered to be their parents. After Mac thought he created Cheese, he called him Bloo's brother.

But, there's the other point, what kind of life would an imaginary friend in that position lead? Oh, I imagine their home life would be good enough, but what about in public? We've seen how Mac's teacher treated imaginary friends in Emancipating complication, so I doublt public school would be an option. In fact, we've never actually seen imaginary friends attending school in the show.

I can almost imagine Foster's organizing a form of home school system for Imaginary Friends. And heck, you have to admit Mr. Heriman would fit perfectly in the category of stuffy old teachers, who talk for hours on end and put everyone to sleep with boring lecturs. And goodness knows no one could top Wilt as a basketball coach.

So, what do you think?
