[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP Why would you tell anyone your child is adopted? I get that family will know, but anyone else shouldn't have that info. You should always just refer to your children as your children. I can't imagine even family using the term "adopted". And yes I would correct them..[/quote] Honestly some adopted children prefer it and introduce themselves that way. Not because there's anything wrong with adoption or being a biological child. Some people just like everything out in the open. [/quote] What about trans racial adoption issues? My cousin fostered then adopted a little girl and she's made a conceted effort to, for instance learn how to do her hair and talked to professionals about raising her daughter in a way so she can interface with her heritage. My cousin is herself adopted but her experience was through an open adoption was different.[/quote]
