Proudmommy- That is what bothered me about it too. Not that the comment of "real mom" when referring to a birth mother is okay, but it is more understandable when dealing with people not familiar with adoption. But what really struck me was the fact that her comment made it sound like I wouldn't be a mom at all. I haven't let it bother me much, but I guess I was just totally caught off guard.
Thanks for everyone's words and support- I've got MUCH, MUCH better things to worry about now!!
