Roosmama, you are entitled to your feelings no matter what. I would probably "chafe" if that happened to me too (and DD"s birth mom was completely healthy and wonderful and has never done anything but be loving and kind). I guess I would ask her too in what contexts she wants to be referred to as "natural mother"....I mean, I never have a convo with DD's birth mom where I use the term "birth mom," kwim? And if it is a term that she wants you to use with DS and you are uncomfortable with that, that's ultimately a parenting call. Hopefully, you can have a discussion with her about this stuff and both be OK with everything.

Btw, I wanted to add that I actually think it is good that she is finding support, finding a "voice," etc. and my posts are not intended to say that there is anything wrong with what she wants. I sometimes wish DD's birth mom had more support (online or whatever) and would be more assertive about stuff.

GOOD LUCK!
