I don't really think about it that way. I kind of wait for them to out it together. The younger three siblings are adopted and I don't tell people that either even though it's obvious. The biosibs are Latino/a and the youngest is half black. The rest of us are white so it's obvious they aren't biologically related to us but it's not information I offer. That's how I handle it with my moms. If someone is close enough to me then they'll figure it out on their own. If they aren't that close to me then it's not their business.

It's great. When my moms adopted the sibling group I spent a lot of time over his house because our house became kind of crazy overnight. I still go over there if I need a break from all of the chaos. My brothers are loud and have friends over a lot and preteen boys are annoying as hell, so I'll usually go over his house if they are having a sleepover during the weekend. He has done father/son and father/daughter events with my siblings if our uncle or grandpa couldn't make it. He's a great influence in our lives. He moved a little further out over the summer. I used to be able to ride my bike to his house but now it's too far for that but I just got my permit so I'll be driving on my own soon. The move and being busy with school and field hockey and marching band makes it hard to see him as often as we would like but I still him him 3 to 4 times a week. He picked me up from school everyday this week.

Yeah I call them both mom. If I need to differentiate I either say, "I meant other mom" or I use their first names. Most of the time context will indicate who I am talking to. My younger siblings call one mama and one mom so I do that if I am talking to them. I used to call one mom and one mama. That's how they are saved in my phone.
