Don't worry about who the child calls Mama. This status will easily transferred to you as the new Mom.
Our children called their foster mother Mama. At first it was difficult for us to hear our children calling someone else Mama, but we quickly realized that the Foster mother had been a very important person in their lives.
The reality for us was that within only a few weeks the children we adopted quickly started calling us Mom and Dad. Everyone commented upon this.
This is just one way that the Foster parent has made your child's transition easier. Be thankful. If you think about it when you were very young you might have called a grand-parent or a baby sitter that you really loved Mama. You understood that they weren't your actual mother but it gave you a way to refer to that person.
