I hope you don't mind my chiming in, but I just wanted to say that I agree with you all 100%. I don't introduce my son as my adopted son, he is my son. Just like I am his "real" mother (as opposed to a fake one??)
I love my son, and the fact that he came into our family by adoption is not of consequence in routine conversation. DH's and my parents and siblings don't refer to him as being adopted either. They simply say this is my grandson or nephew.
Thank you for starting this thread, and thank you for letting me pop in.
