Yes, I refer to myself as an adoptee, I am adopteed, whatever. It has never bothered me to be called an adoptee or be refered to as one. For myself, personally, I have found that it has been hmmmm, not sure about the right word to use, but it has made it possible for people to ask me questions and to maybe educate them some on adoption. I have never minded people asking me questions about it because I know that with circumstances I have not experienced (such as divorce) I am just as ignorant and innocently curious about things as someone may be about adoption. It doesn't define me, It is just a small part of who I am and what makes me me.
