....ahh...yes, Kathy...primal mother... To date, this is the only term I have found which did not have an "opposite" term that might possibly offend a parent who adopts a child.

epenn....here is the link to the rather lengthy and vigorous debate regarding "labels" which followed my rant on the term birth mother.....or birthmother as some would say. (I think it's splitting hairs, really, because we all know what is meant, whether it is spelled as one word or two.)

PRIMAL MOTHER
Primal Mother...

Best wishes,
