We have worked it out amongst ourselves to call E's birth mother what we call her and it was her choice and she is thrilled with it so I don't really care what others think. Some of the same people who want me to call her one thing or another refer to me as "an adopter" or worse in blogs and articles so I really don't feel like I owe them squat.
However there are women I've grown very close to on a.com who really really deserve to be called what they are comfortable with, which is First Mother so when on here I think I'll start using that term out of respect to them.
