[quote=Anonymous]OP---I too hear the "real" mom comment from my kiddos. I pinch myself and say, "hmm . . . I don't feel imaginary . . . " I also always say, "Yeah, you may not have come out of my belly, but you absolutely came out of my heart." But I don't minimize or try to dismiss or deflect any curiosity regarding bio-mom. It's perfectly natural. Heck, if I wonder about her a great deal (and I do--ours was an intl. adoption), then I fully expect my children wonder even more so. I also think that it is positive to comment on the attributes that child may have gotten from bioparents, such as natural athletic ability, musical talent, etc. [/quote]
