Adoption, an event and not a lifelong tag

I am sick of reading news accounts that make a point of saying someone is an adopted son or daughter of so and so. This is coming up again in the recent news accounts of the  feud between Michael (right) and Ron Reagan Jr(left). Every single news accounts makes it a point to say that Michael is the  adopted son as if to infer he is less of a son than Ron Jr.
This piece of information adds nothing to the point of the story and the inference that  being adopted makes you less of a child than one born biologically  services to stigmatize  adoption.  The news media should  use their platform appropriately and not continue to this message.  Adoption is an event and not a lifelong label. One mother of  three children voiced it this way;  whether they arrived by Delta or the delivery room they are all my children.

Hard core pro-aborts are NOT pro-choice. They hate any choice except abortion. So they naturally hate adoption, which is in competition with abortion. Hard core pro-aborts resent that, especially if they're making money off of abortion.

Yes, constantly announcing that someone is the adopted child serves to stigmatize adoption. But that's exactly what the hard core pro-aborts want to do. They want to turn the public off towards adoption, so that people will not see it as an option. Then they can sell abortion more easily, both to the public and to the scared, pregnant teenager in the clinic whose not sure how she wants to handle her pregnancy.
The MSM is in the pocket of the abortion industry.
