I know that the amom is the mom; however, all adopted children 'technically' have 2 mommy's - and that can't be denied or ignored.


Technically, the children have a birthmother and a mommy....not two mommies.

I've seen this argued somewhere else on the board...as a birthmother this kinda thing freaks me out....my daughter has one mom...its the woman raising her...I am her birthmother, nothing more, nothing less.

There is a lot to be said when you call a woman "mommy" and to me...a birthmother could never be a "mommy" to the child she placed...she could eventually be a mom, but never a mommy.

Maybe I'll get flamed for that...but thats just my opinion.
