Yes, Matilda Wormwood was indeed adopted.
Following a period of neglect and lack of understanding from her biological parents, Matilda found a true connection and a nurturing environment with her teacher, Miss Honey. Recognizing Matilda's extraordinary intelligence and the unsuitable living conditions she endured, Miss Honey eventually sought to provide her with a proper home.

This pivotal moment provided Matilda with the loving and stable family life she profoundly deserved, moving her from her neglectful biological family into a supportive and intellectually stimulating environment with Miss Honey.
