But you know what they say, "It takes a village!" You can never have enough caring individuals in life. Thanks for clearing that up, I missed a few months last year.

We have an adopted son and I call the woman who gave birth to him his mother. She's his mother as much as I am albeit in different ways. The only one I object to is "real" mother. WTF? Does that mean one of us is the fake mother? I hate that one. I understand where you’re coming from. We have an adopted son and I call the woman who gave birth to him his mother.

Hopefully the next generation will be even more accepting of the varied and wonderful mechanics of families. it is good to see the myth of motherhood upturned.

So who cares what other labels people seem to need? Just keep on loving those babies Seems to me that Newb has it right on- there’s a lot of mommy love, and there’s a lot of babies, and if you put that together, you get a lot of love in a family.

I have 3 biological children with different fathers, each of whom now has another partner, one adopted child who is biologically my niece and my husband who isn't biologically related to anyone! To top it off, we are polyamorous and have each had secondary partners, some with children! It truly takes a village and my kids are cool and wonderful people and their lives have been fuller as a result. To quote "Barney" (which I promise I don't do often) "A family is people and a family is love." D We have so many moms & dads ’round here I have to draw an org chart to help people understand.

My Mom is my mom, though she is my "adopted Mom". Bleh, that sounds as bad as "birthmother". My mom's partner is my "other mother" and my "birthmother" is Kathy. I dont know, they are all mom in a lot of different ways. Thank you for sharing yourself here. I really enjoy your blog a lot. Katie I have three moms.
