Is anyone else upset about this? This is a subject that has bothered me for some time. I absolutely hate when there is a story about a celebrity on TV or in a magazine and they constantly have to point out, for example, "Sharon Stone and her adopted son...." or "Hugh Jackman and his adopted son....". In a recent article regarding the announcement that Tori Spelling was pregnant they mentioned that her husband was already the father of an 8 year old boy and a 1 year old adopted girl. I think whether a child comes to you biologically or through adoption that child is your child. I don't have a problem with them announcing that someone has adopted a child but after that they should be referred to as their son or daughter, not forever be labeled their "adopted" son or daughter. Am I supposed to feel less my parents child because I was adopted? I admit I've struggled with many issues throughout my life relating to my adoption and things like this in the media, etc., only make those feelings worse. If they are constantly going to make this distinction then why not say his biological son and his adopted daughter. I would like to hear what anyone else thinks of this subject.
