I had major insecurities about DS's birthparents until our adoption was finalized...actually they started subsiding the more I felt like I WAS his Mom...nothing makes you feel more like Mom than rocking a baby at 3 in the morning or being thrown up on! ;-)

I think that the majority of these feelings will lessen for you as time goes on...though I can't say that there won't always be a little dig into your heart whenever you hear a birthparent call themselves "mom" or "dad" or refer to you DC as "my son" or "my daughter"....but just wait until your DC calls you "momma"...boy will your heart swell then! ;-)
