This is an over generalization that is simply not true.
I can name off the top of my head 10 western european countries that,
by law, require adoptees be treated differently than others within
their adoptive families.
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, England, Luxemburg, Leichenstein, The
Netherlands, Belgium, and Monaco.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Adopted Daughter unmarried mother
I am somewhat reluctant to post on this again as I fear it may be
getting off topic. Let me begin by saying if the law thinks that the
terms "mother," "father," "parent," "son," "daughter," and "child" are
adequate to cover adoptive relationships, why is there a problem using
them in genealogy for such relationships? When a child is adopted,
the law makes absolutely no, let me repeat , no difference between
that child and a biological child, even to the point of issuing a new
birth certificate.
