Positive Adoption Language
When we speak about adoption, it is important to know the language of adoption because the words we use to tell the facts about adoption convey emotions and attitudes as well as facts. It is our responsibility as adoptive parents to know which adoption words to use to convey the best or most positive feelings. Then, through our knowledge of adoption language, we can better educate our extended families, as well as the public, about adoption.
