I love adopting new cubs from the tree, but only getting 1 or 2 doesn't scratch that itch, and if you have the fatherly personality you miss out on the benefits of the other personalities. It would be cute If the item was a baby bottle you could buy from monkey business. If the item requires restrictions it could require that you have a brood mother available to care for the cub. It would also help provide a base value on cubs and increase their market value. (Cost of item =cost of cub)

Thank you for your responses!

I did not think about how the use of a paid item would directly conflict with the mechanic of it being an equal opportunity raffle, and that's not what I want to take from others, as well as the cost of an item wouldn't directly influence the base value of cubs and I realize it would not affect their base value.

Notes on a more specific use/function:
To be fair to all players the limit would be 2 could be purchased per day, so you could adopt a total of 3. (4 if you have a Fatherly Personality) When you purchase these items you would be able to activate them on the adoption tree page , similar to the clicky you have in explore when you have an energy boost item in your inventory. For cost I would place it as a more expensive item in Monkey Business, in the $250-$350 an range, this would also curb it's use and keep the pools from being drained.

What do you guys think of the Adopt-A-cubs being gender specific? An boy/girl baby bottle could be released in explore when one of the pools is extremely high, encouraging players to adopt from a specific pool.
