I'm sorry your adoptive mother reacted in such a childish way to your birth parents' shortcomings--which we all have. Was she expecting them to be perfect? It's funny, birth parents seem to be insecure about what their child's adoptive parents must be like, and adoptive parents seem equally insecure about what the birth parents must be like, forgetting that everyone is only human (but also incredible in their own way)!
