This isn't an issue of "more correct". It is an issue of our human inability to express things in a nonhuman context.
Jesus was 100% human and 100% God at the same time. That is a belief tha requires a nonhuman context because in this human world, we cannot conceive of something that was 200% of anything. Jesus was a child, born of Mary and the child was placed there by God, so you can use the term "Son of God". That said, Jesus is God which means that Jesu, is placed himself there, so you could just as easily use the idea that Jesus was "Son of Himself" or simply Jesus is God. These are things that we, in our human context, simply cannot rationalize. As such, our language cannot be as precise as we'd like it to be.
Adam was also divinely created by God and as an extension, we can all claim to be children of God, but that doesn't make us gods.
