Adoption is a process whereby a person assumes the parenting of another, usually a child, from that person's biological or legal parent or parents, and, in so doing, permanently transfers all rights and responsibilities, along with filiation, from the biological parent or parents.
As an adjective, adopted usually describes the adoptee (i.e., the one who is passive in the adoption process). Adoptive usually describes the adopter. So an adopted child is raised by his or her adoptive parents. Although this distinction is useful, itâs not always borne out in practice, and some writers use adoptive for the adoptee. This isnât a serious problem as one long-established definition of adoptive is, simply, of or having to do with adoption. But the use of adopted in place of adoptive is illogical because adopted implies that there is an adopter and an adoptee. The adoptee is always adopted by the adopter, not vice-versa.
