A quick definition of adopt:

@Eminatorcookieeater: same and my sub status was blank yesterday - trying to research what it means
@shaquilleoatmeal: ooo I wonder what that means, hopefully it means we'll hear back soon

It looks like an update to the sub status (it saying complete instead of being blank) means some sort of review has happened - basically a UR2. Seems like those who got a substatus change got a decision a few days after...
