How would adoptive parents react to this?

Surely Funke: How would adoptive parents react to this?
How would adoptive parents react if there were a bill seeking to “preserve traditional parenting” by banning adoptive parents from calling themselves “parents”? They have to refer to themselves as their kids’ “civil guardians,” and not be recognized as legal parents in any state records.

And hear people tell them, “I don’t have anything against your family’s lifestyle, I just believe that a ‘parent’ is a person who biologically produces a child. And I don’t want you redefining that term for all of us.”

And, “Don’t let adopters destroy traditional parenthood.”

How would those parents react?

Answer by Adam the return SFCU
1. many people that adopt do not insist that the child refer to them as mom or dad this tends to not end well
2. we are dealing with an issue that does not concern religious agreement where as marriage itself does, be it pagan muslim or christian

Answer by Madeinthee80s
Similar to our response to our situation one would assume.

Most states ban gay adoption as well.

I know we fight for marriage equality, but there is so much more to fight for.

One step at a time i guess.

I think it would decrease the desire to adopt. As foster parents the state frowns upon the children calling parents “Mommy” and “Daddy” The kids usually want to call foster parents mom and dad because they long to fit in. We always gave our foster kids the choice and reminded them quite often the first couple weeks what our names were. We became mom and dad every time. We also had the rule that they couldn’t change their mind 6 months later and start referring to us by our real names. Some of the morons that believe a parent biologically produces a child are ignorant. Just because some on does the act to procreate- doesn’t make them a parent. – if it did there wouldn’t be such great effort to recruit new foster and adoptive parents. Its what you feel inside the matters. The only difference is dna for possible health issues when a match is needed.
