Poe, in fact, was never legally 'adopted'. But, he was taken in by Frances Allan and her husband. Frances Allan loves and spoils him, but her husband strongly dislikes him.
The Allans never formally adopted Edgar, but Fanny often thought of him as her own child. 10 years after that, Edgar moved because of the bad relationship with Jonh Allan.
