Thank you for this. You are exactly right. The parents who raise a child are his or her real parents. Birth parents are biological parents but that is it. There are far too many films and books glorifiying the blood tie as if it is more important than the love tie.

No. Wish we had met, but my Mom was my real mom.
Meaningful.
