I wish people would stop putting ‘birth’ and ‘biological’ in front of mother and father.

Those of us who adopt children are the legal parents, the mother and father in terms of law if not in biological fact. The term is useful to distinguish one type of parent from the other.

Indeed.

In this case the proper term would be broodmare or brood sow.

[Mr. K]

in this story it is accurate and necessary, she does have an adopted mother and biological mother

Plenty worse things to get worked up about

I'm okay with that modifier. Her real mother is the one who raised her, and her birth mother is the one who delivered her full term and permitted her to live rather than taking the convenient way out with an abortion. While I don't understand giving up a child, even after rape (if that was true), I think we should cut birth mothers as much slack as possible and thank them for taking the compassionate path.

Why? Sire & dam do not necessarily equate to mother and father; and it sounds better than sperm donor & warm pocket.
