Respectful Adoption Language

Turns out there are positive and negative ways to talk about adoption. Steve and I have already started using these terms. It would be much appreciated if our family and friends consider this when speaking to us about it. It helps to foster respect for the birth family and child, which is very important :-)

  2. It's ok, we weren't aware of this stuff at first either, but it makes sense once you learn of it! Love you!

  4. I was thinking the same thing Tricia said. I'll be curving my verbiage as well. I'm so excited for you all!
