[quote=Anonymous]I might've asked them what they think a "real mom" is or does and see where that takes the conversation. They may have been struggling with the term "bio" or "birth mom" and used real mom instead. You can acknowledge that your family was formed differently than most. FWIW, I think you handled it very well, even though I know it hurts. Sometimes it just takes maturing to realize that families are made differently and that one isn't valid than another.
