I would be friendly with the woman but I wouldn't think of her as my mother. But she's calling her her real mother and her adoptive parents her parents. No, that's your birth mother. Your real mother is the woman that raised you. Not the woman that gave you up when you were two-years-old, for reasons they don't mention, and had something to do with two boyfriends. I would be extremely upset if the child I took into my home and raised was now calling her birth mother her "real" mother.






Darrah, of all the posts you've made about things you know nothing about, and they are legion, this may just be the one thing you are absolutely unqualified to speak about.

I'm probably not the only person on this board who was adopted, but as far as I know, I'm the only one who's actually said anything about it. And in that capacity, I am annointing myself, nunc pro tunc, XPT's official spokesman for the adopted community. On behalf of all of us, I'd like to offer you a crowbar with which to pry your head from your ass...

...before someone with a lot less patience than I have beats you senseless with it.
