Hi, In our house the kids are always introduced to us by our first names. We have had children who are older, 6 and up just call us by our first name, but the younger ones might start to call us by our first name and then one day they will call us mom and dad. It all depends on what makes them comfortable. we nevere tell them they have to call us by any one name. Depends on the age They all seem to take cues from each other. We did have a problem when a sib group was told by bio mom that they could not call us mom and dad. The little girl told me that she and here brother has to call us that since we are their parents , we love them, we take care of them. Need I say that this sib group not only call us mom and dad proudly but they now also carry our last name. We just figure that the the kids have so much on their minds when they first come we're not going to add to their fears of what to call us. Annie6
