Your honest opinion should not include reading what others say first... so please give it a try.

It's my guess that there is such a discrepancy between what adoptees think of adoptive parents, in general, greatly influence the feelings in this group as much as the "language used" does.

Honestly, I don't think of any adjectives. I don't find it helpful to lump a group of people together as all being something or another. |

Well, adjectives aren't at all what come to mind. What comes to mind is my own adoptive mom, whom I love and miss deeply, by the way.
Why would I carry descriptors in my mind for a bunch of people I don't even know? I'm sorry that I'm finding the question somewhat confusing.
ETA:
After reading your additional comments, I'll just add that the discussion about adoption language is very real in terms of what we're up against in the fight for reform. It's a different issue. |
