Do you think there is any difference between a loving mother who has given birth to a child and a loving mother who has adopted a child?

[thegreenyogi]

Specifically do you think that a woman is less of a mother if she doesn't go through pregnancy and physically gives birth to a baby?

[NordicInScandinavia]

No I do not and no I don't think they're any less mother.

My mom is my siblings mom, how we came to the world does not change that, she raised us, cared for us and loved us equally and with her best efforts.

[NordicInScandinavia]

Or correction my mom is the mom of most of my siblings. There's one she has little part in, not counting step siblings (which most of them I just refer to as siblings)

The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb


It means we need to chose love. And parental love is the same way


Sure it helps when we share genes dna with our child but even if we don’t love is always possible

i don't give my defecations up for adoption but i wish i could. i have a lot of them a day but i don't want to keep them.

[IslaTheWitch]

I have two of my own and one adopted... I can't see any difference... I love them all and would move earth and hell for them...

A mothers love doesn’t just extend to a biological child.

[Caroline91]

There are women who give birth who are never really mothers. Any woman who loves, nurtures and raises a child is a true mother in my mind.

[Dargil]

I'll answer it this way. I separately got a fiancée visa for both my wife and acquired daughter. Legally and by my belief, she became MY daughter and she treats me that way.

[Ethan_T]

Not really... I don't know maybe. I live with my grandma now because my parents passed away and I feel like she loves me even though she's not my real mom. But maybe it would be different if it ain't my grandma I don't know...

[Tarifa]

A loving mother will love her child regardless.

[Twalli]

Not at all. Some people are better than others at raising kids and they're not always physically able to do so.

[Staximus]

Less of a mother biologically but that doesn't mean she can't love the child just as much

[itsannalee]

It depends on the person.

[Agape93]

Nope. Both are moms

[dudeinohio]

No difference

[jahaims]

Yep.
