When we are with "E" we just call her by her name. Castle is not old enough to understand the whole adoption thing just yet but we do talk about "E" at home and how she grew in "E's" tummy. I'm not sure I like any of the terms used to refer to a birthmother, birthmother sounds like she just gave a place for her to grow and be born, natural mother makes amom's sound fake and I just don't like first mother, makes amom's sound like a second choice or something. Hopefully we can get by without having to use any of these terms. We plan to tell Castle that she grew in "E's" tummy and that she couldn't give her the life she wanted her to have so she found a family who she loved and trusted to raise her and give her a home with a mommy and daddy and brothers to love her.
