Adoptee: Although this term refers to a person who has been adopted, there are many adopted individuals who do not like to be referred to in this way, because they consider themselves to be every bit as much a full member of their adopted family as any other natural child would be, and therefore consider themselves to be just a regular "child," rather than an "adoptee" or an "adopted child."
