There’s no blueprint for exactly how adopted children and their biological parents should navigate their relationships.
Whether it’s desired because a couple can’t conceive a child on their own or simply because there are too many kiddos waiting for families, it’s a blessing that adoption exists.
At any moment, there are about 391,000 American children waiting to be adopted. And the majority of kids spend two to five years waiting for their forever families. Over 10% wait longer than five years, and sadly, some are never adopted. It’s perfectly natural for adopted children to be curious about where they came from.
And of course, there’s the issue of what’s an appropriate title for the birth parents to be called. According to, it’s completely up to the adoptee to decide what to call one another. Julie shared that she used to refer to her biological mom as “birth mom” or “birth mother,” but many also use biological mom, bio-mom, B-mom, first mother, other mother, natural mother.
