“Gotcha Day” -> ngày kỷ niệm ai/thú cưng được nhận nuôi và làm thành viên mới của gia đình, còn được gọi là “Ngày về nhà”, “Ngày của gia đình” hoặc “Ngày nhận con nuôi”, mặc dù nó có thể khác ngày nhưng ngày được nhận con nuôi hợp pháp thì mới được quyết định. Từ này cũng thường bị cho là xúc phạm đến những con nuôi.
Ví dụ
Celebrating their child’s “gotcha day” is a special occasion for adoptive parents, and this rustic (mộc mạc, thô sơ) frame from Etsy is a sweet way to commemorate that.
This weekend we celebrated Daisy Duke’s “gotcha day.” It’s been four years since that fateful North Carolina where we went to check out a bloodhound (chó săn/mật thám) available for adoption.
“Distressed Sister” was a 16-year-old sister of an adopted sibling whose mother required her to keep the adoption a secret. It makes me cringe to think of what that child has missed. My son has known of his adoption since he was old enough to understand the concept. This is what he understands: He was chosen; he has two birthdays (he brings cupcakes to school on his birthday and cookies on his “gotcha day”); he didn’t have to get stuck with my short, nonathletic genes; he gets to celebrate both Mother’s Day and Birth Mother’s Day (the day before Mother’s Day); and he’s loved within an inch of his life by not only his adoptive family, but by his birth mother and her family.
