Maybe you haven't followed our story with her from the beginning....she's delusional. She truly thinks that our son still thinks of her as his mother (he came to us at 5 months old. She hasn't seen him in 1 1/2 yrs). I show her respect and Michael knows her by her first name (pictures...she lives out of state). I am his Mama. She will ALWAYS be his birthmother and we honor her as such, but she is not Mommy anymore. I think it's a very personal thing what each family calls the birthmother. If that's comfortable for you then that's great :-)Our Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339712504544043618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3650441630749731563.post-73308251035085706492012-07-06T12:17:52.473-07:002012-07-06T12:17:52.473-07:00These parents live in their own version of the sto...These parents live in their own version of the story and it is obvious that they have no idea what really is going on in their bio child's life. I hope she is being nice, I struggle with Lizzy's bio mom saying things like 'my baby' and her bio dad calling her a nickname that no one has called her in six months, but it is all they have to cling to I guess. You are right, they don't get it at all...I just hope she really is trying for her sake.MamaFosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347829013467691443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3650441630749731563.post-45375646274405975722012-07-06T11:22:29.098-07:002012-07-06T11:22:29.098-07:00I think it sounds really sweet... I would love to ...I think it sounds really sweet... I would love to get a message like that from one of our birth moms. When we adopt our 3 foster kids, I plan on always referring to their moms' as "Mama M or Mama D." If I get the blessing of raising their children, it's the least I can do to make them feel like their life matters to someone.Aspiring Foster Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07520383384972618449noreply@blogger.com
