I have noticed that it has happened to Dawn French and Lenny Henry too, but reading about DT earlier prompted me to post.
Reading an article about his new TV series and it said that he was a father of 2 with his wife and "adoptive father" of her eldest child. So......father of 3 then?
DF and LH have always been described as having an adopted child, rather than having a child. Why?
A family is a family regardless of how it comes about and emotionally and legally DT is that childs father, so why make the distinction? Who's business is it and really, who cares?
AIBU to think that the media should stop doing this as it fosters the belief that an adopted child is somehow different from a biological child. In this age of blended families, it seems especially ridiculous to make distinctions.
