When my children's first mom is not in our company, I know that she refers to her placed children as her son/daughter. They are, in fact, her son and daughter.
When we are together, we both call them "our" son/daughter. Because, they are in fact, "our" children.
At our very first visit, we took the kids - one parented, one placed( our daughter was not yet born) to have a portrait done together. The photographer asked who was mom and we both answered with "both of us". I think honestly, that we were each replying for ourselves - because both kids were there. But after that, it just came naturally to say "ours".
