JustAnotherAdoptee?

Question

You always sign your answers with "34 yo adoptee blessed to be back with my n-family through the miracle of reunion". Excuse my ignorance but I am curious - what does the "n" in n-family stand for?

Answer 1

Sypdermomma-- I think it's the same person who really didn't answer the question but chose to insult the person using n-family and the person who asked the question.

N-family stands for Natural family. Every adoptee has a different term that talks about their biological family. Most do not use it to insult adoptive parents, like someone on here is accusing them of doing.

Answer 2

The "n" stands for "natural" in other words the family she comes from, the mother and father and extended family. Or as many of us call it " the first family" every child that is adopted has a natural or first family, that family is the family they were born to.

Answer 3

Natural Family.  Some people here also call it 1st Family.

Answer 4

They mean birth/bio-family and want to rub the word "miracle" into adoptive parents' faces.

Answer 5

Natural Family.

Answer 6

I'm pretty sure it stands for natural family. That means the family she was born to.

EDIT:

Hmm, interesting how all 4 answers have gotten a thumbs down. This seems like a pretty factual Q & A to me, something it seems odd to have strong negative opinions on.

Answer 7

natural or natal.
