Our (soon to be) daughter calls us Mom and Dad. Her choice. We were both fine being "Aunt and Uncle," but it was what she wanted to do.
Her caseworker came to see her at the house, and, in fact, that was one of her questions, "Do you call them Mom and Dad?" Apparently that is a way to measure the relationship and bonding, however, I would think that it is not a complete indicator.
