It's quite clear she did not literally adopt people. These were adult friends/colleagues of the Podestas and they would gather at her house, because she loved to cook for them and "mother" them. The adoption part is meant as a tribute to her warmth and hospitality.
It is obvious that Tony Podesta said that metaphorically. One the giant failures of the Pizzagate investigatory style is ignoring metaphor, humor, sarcasm, irony, insults and probably a dozen other verbal devices that make up how people live and speak these days. Literalism contributes very poor comprehension what is actually going on with a lot of the evidence cited.

Yeah, that was "discovered" months ago. To date, nobody has fingered a single adoptee of hers.
Also, it's unclear whether that reference was literal or stylistic. The "tribute" is written rather strangely so it's hard to discern.
