I dont think there should be any catogories either... here is the letter I sent earlier....
I am writing to you because I am so offended by you putting adoptive mothers into the "non mom" category.
Adoptive mothers are just as much a REAL mother as any other mom. "giving birth" does not define motherhood. ANYONE can "reproduce" but it takes a special person to be a mother.
I cant BELIEVE you would put my mom, into a "non mom category" My "non mom" raised me since I was an infant, stayed home to raise me all through school, led my girl scout troop, picked me up when I fell, took me shopping for my prom dress, and my "non" father walked me down the isle on my wedding day. They are my parents and my family and EVERYTHING I know and have and for your company to try and discredit them as" being "non" parents is so disrespectful, and offensive, NOT TO MENTION destructive to the publics view of adoption and families. You are giving adoptive mothers no more credit, than if they were elected "team mom" for the little league, and had to bring snack once a week. An Adoptive parent IS your real parent, they are not just someone "playing a role"
I believe you have a moral responsibility to fairly and accurately represent all types of families and mothers, not just the "real" ones that fall into your narrow view of vagina birth "motherhood"
All I have to say now is I am disappointed and hurt to realize that you would blatantly disrespect such a large and growing number of the population.
