I was thinking that I don't feel like an adoptee anymore -- since I'm an adult. But maybe - lol - an adoption survivor... I guess that the abbreviations are used to lessen confusion in a confusing situation.

I'm also seeing that people are using something like 'lost a baby to adoption' --- I think it used to be surrendered, gave up, gave away...

But this article was the first that I've noticed that birthmother may not be the best words.
