We used mama and papa because it was not likely in our area that bio parents would refer to themselves using those terms. I have had foster kids call me Mama "C" or Mommy "C". At that age - they are going to be around other kids who call their primary caregivers mommy and daddy - it is likely that they will gravitate toward similar terms.

Go with something you feel comfortable with and don't be surprised if the kids decide to call you something else.
