After adopting a child, the family that adopted is known as the child's "adoptive family." This term is usually only used to describe the legal relationship- it is not commonly used in a social setting.

The biological parents of that child are generally referred to as the "birthparents," and any members of either birthparent's family as "birthfamily."

Adopted means that a child is accepted and legally made a part of a family that they were not born into. After the court hearing, the child is a part of the new family, legally, it is just like they were born into that family. It also means that legally, they are no longer a part of the family they were born into.
When your adopted means that other people that are not your parents will become your parents. Like lets say some kid's parents die so they dont have anyone to live with so they go to foster care to get adopted so that other people will become your parents......yeah.......?
