No one is posting in the Lounge, so I'll just bring up and ask your opinion on what I thought about today.
If someone is adopted, would they consider their ancestors those of their biological parents, or those of the family they grow up with and why? |

According to Wikipedia:
An ancestor is a parent or (recursively) the parent of an ancestor. So this includes a father or mother, as well as grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on. So it's clearly pointing to your blood line. Of course, if you're adopted, and you love your adopted parents with all your heart, I can understand why you might want to call them your 'ancestors' too (to a certain degree). |
