Plural of adopter; multiple people who legally take children born to other parents and raise them as their own.
The plural form of 'adopter,' formed by adding the standard English plural suffix '-s'. It maintains the same Latin root 'adoptare' as the singular form.
Adoption rates have skyrocketed in the last century as legal systems formalized the practice, transforming adopters from being seen as caretakers to having full parental rights—a shift that reflects changing cultural values about what makes a 'real' family.
