No - The Bible does not frown on adoption at all. God treats all those who truly follow His Son Jesus Christ just as if they were His very own children and the siblings of Christ.

Rom 8:14-17 KJV For as many as are ledby the Spirit of God [ie true Christians], they are the sons of God. [From 15] For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. [From 16] The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, thatwe are the children of God: [From 17] And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

The one proviso for successful adoption is that love must be there from both sides, preferably simultaneously. You cannot command someone to love someone else - it just doesn't work. However, that has not stopped human governments forcibly reuniting children who fled their parents because of their abusive treatment back with their abusers again, but then only God can really see the heart.
