I agree that "non-mom" is offensive and I'm glad they changed it.
I am also ok with "adoptive mom" becasue I am special. I didn't just by chance bring a child into my home. I worked long and hard to be a mommy. I suffered infertily, miscarriage, mounds of paperwork and scruitiny - I labored! I overcame obstacles that many mothers don't have to overcome (not to speak lightly of every mom's different challenges) - I am different. But I am not less important, so I'm glad that they recognize that WE "adoptive moms" should be rewarded!
