I never used or heard the term adoptee until I started searching for my mother and using this site. The term does not offend me at all, but as a child I knew I was adopted and thought of myself as mom and dads kid. It did not define me in any way, so I never had a reason to use the term before searching. I did explain to a few people during my search that I was an adoptee, but other than that I have never seen a reason to throw that out to anyone. To me it seems like a term "male or female", "caucasion or hispanic" or the many other terms used to describe people, sexes, race, etc.
