What to call each other during transition?
We are in the process of adopting a 13 year old girl and 9 year old boy. They will be moving in with us before the adoption is final. I have read other threads that say leave it up to the children to decide when to call us mom and dad. However, do we start from the beginning calling them our children and is it awkward for us to be referring to them as our children when they aren't calling us mom and dad yet?
