We use the same 'titles' as their other grandchildren - Nonni, Grandpa, Granddad, Gammy, Mom-Mom, Pop-Pop, etc (there are 9 total between birth and adoptive family). We don't distinguish distinguish between birth and adoptive in their titles. Same thing with aunts, uncles and cousins.
Ryan's bparents also have a 'title' that is different from everyone elses - they are bema and beda. Ryan actually came up with it, couldn't say 'birthmom' and 'birthdad' very well and we all liked his solution. :-)
