A Funny Story
I noticed that anytime I talk about my sons mom I just refer to her as "My sons Mom". Well I didn't realise how strange that sounded to other people until I went to a baseball game and we were talking about a product that one of the girls had and I was saying how amazing it was and what I have used from this line, then I went on to say well my sons mom sells it, and went on to finish what I was saying. When I was done everyone was looking at me like I was nuts or something. So I ask what I had said and I got the response your sons mom. To me it never even crossed my mind to refer to her by her name, cause to me she is my sons mom. So then I ended up explaining my adoption story which I don't hide and love to share as it opens up other peoples minds to thinking about adoption. I think its nice to know that she went from being a name to me to being a great mom to a person I care deeply about.

Isn't it funny how we don't even think about the phrase "my son's mom" as something weird or out of the ordinary to say? :) I've used that before when I don't think people need to know her name. It is just easier than explaining who this C person is to me :P
That is pretty funny. I say the same thing in reference to my daughters mom..See there. I just said it again ; ) I actually like saying it to be honest! = )
Too funny! I'm sure they looked at you like you had two heads. Amazing how the "general" population really do not even "think" about adoption.
