One thing that made me clear on how I felt about it..
As an expectant adoptive mom, you get matched with a Birthmom. This is how our agency titles people considerring adoption.
So, you are matched with "your birthmom". You may get to know this person over a period of time. When she gives birth and decides to parent, who is she? She isn't your birthmom. She is not the birthmother to your child....She was a potential or possible Birthmom.
So for me, it's the most accurate thing to call someone who is considering adoption.
(also adding, I realize people don't like the whole "our birthmom" thing, I'm just giving an example of adoption language I see regularly)
