Here is what came up on google
Adoption
noun, verb
The process whereby a person assumes the parenting of another, usually a child, from that person's biological or legal parent or parents, and, in so doing, permanently transfers all rights and responsibilities, along with filiation, from the biological parent or parents. (thanks Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adoption)
Sample sentence
"She created an adoption plan for her children"
Also please note that adoption or adopted is not a adjective (even on google who were not very politically correct). There is no such thing as an adopted child. It is a child that was adopted. (Also note the past tense, the adoption happens once. It is not something that is current.)
Adoption is a wonderful excited part of my life. Something that will shape mine and my children's lives but please be sensitive. Learning the proper language is the only way that we can continue to have open dialogue, safe and respectful adoptions, and continued well being for children and families created through adoption.
What do you think of the definition of adoption? What would you add or change?
