Adoptee

An adoptee is an individual who has been legally adopted, meaning they have been taken into another family and granted a new legal status as a child of those parents. This process often occurs when biological parents cannot care for a child, and it allows the adoptee to receive love, support, and a stable home from the adoptive family. Adoptees may have unique experiences related to their identities and histories, which can influence their relationships and sense of belonging throughout life. Adoption can be a positive experience, fostering family connections beyond biological ties.
