Our friends over at Family Advocacy Law Firm have developed a wonderful and comprehensive guide to adoption terminology. We think it’s a great resource for the beginner considering adoption! I think it’s important to keep these terms in mind when crafting your adoption profile book- positive adoption language is so important. You can easily turn away an expectant parent by using the wrong terminology. The world of adoption is always evolving, so it’s key to stay up-to-date on the current vocabulary used within the community.
