That just feels pedantic and gatekeeping. Adoption in this context has been used this way for as long as I can remember (20+ years) with every animal charity in the UK at least.

That's a fair point, as regards animal support. I was a bit hot under the collar when I wrote that. The scenario I was thinking of was adopting vs supporting people, and the regretable reluctance to adopt children in general.
