Ask the adoptee(s)

I think we actually see it the same way. You don’t introduce you baby as “my biological child” - we don’t announce our son as “our adopted son” - we don’t make it a secret - it just isn’t usually PERTINENT and it is PRIVATE - particularly when the kid is standing right there. As your baby gets older and you know people who didn’t know you were pregnant you won’t feel the need to clarify your child’s biological relationship to yourself. And I don’t see any reason why adoptive parents would want to introduce their kids as “my adopted kid.” Don’t hide it, but don’t blurt it out - or even share it at every opportunity.

You are right, we are in agreement.

My point wasn’t that you’d made the wrong decision. It was that other people (who have more options available), might make a different decision, and it might not be due to being ashamed that one of the family members was adopted.
