When I was watching her talk during the show -- she said she is the parent. - not the "adopted" parents - I forget how she said the exact words. Like I said in my other posting - (pregnant with HG3 times and 1 living child) - I am torn on the subject of what should be done.. BUT -- I do believe that we have to remember being called mom and dad is not a given -- just because of who gave you life - or birth you.. Parents - mom - dad are the people who take care of you - give you shelter - food - clothing - care and love you.. But I just wanted to clear up the title of "the Parents" in this story - we need to remember that people who do adopt are the parents no matter what... It's like that old saying - anyone can be called father or mother - but it takes someone special to be called daddy and mommy.. Reading some of the messages make me really wonder if some of these people know anyone adopt or even had a bad family life - and need someone to be the adult...
I think it is a grey area with her because she was sick.
But as a stepmom I have to agree that you can be not the birthmother but still be the mommy.
