adopted, adoptive, or just son or daughter
My husband and I adopted two children who are 17 days apart. We are always asked "Are they twins?" Sometimes we just say yes to strangers we don't know and will never see again. The babies are not old enough to know yet. But in our close community we always tell them that they are adopted brother and sister. Which makes sense. To my real question, How do you feel about people calling you adoptive parent? Do you like the term? My personal opinion, I hate it. I don't want to deny that I am an adoptive parent but I don't want it to be a the describing word I use when I introduce my daughter or son. Does anyone relate or have any thoughts?
