I do know what you mean. I certainly don't fess up to perfect strangers but telling people we know they are adopted has been pretty easy and I like them hearing us say it. I don't say, "Here's our adopted sons and daughter" but when asked a specific question about their birth, I do say "They are adopted." As far as being called an adoptive parent, honestly, there aren't too many context in which it needs to be used. I don't like the term either but technically, that's what we are. I can't imagine someone saying "Oh, their the adoptive parents to _____", you know? That wouldn't make sense, since we are their parents not "adoptive" just like they are our children not "adopted children", right?
