"Adult children" comes from "adult children of alcoholics", but now has broader reference to adults who were abused emotionally, physically or sexually in childhood.
Merriam-Webster has an entry for half-orphan, meaning someone with only one living parent. They say specifically a child, which would match the usual usage of "orphan" (as mentioned in the question), but it might be used of an adult sometimes, either jocularly or by extension. This doesn't distinguish which parent is dead, but could be combined with a further explanation if it matters.
