Mothers By Not-Birth, How Did You Get to 'Mom'?
There’s a phrase that almost every mother knows, and that’s the “birth story.” It’s the story of the day you gave birth — the day you definitely became a mother.
But there are many mothers who did not give birth. They adopted, became stepmoms or god moms.
Today we're asking: if you are a mom not-by-birth (especially if this is your first Mother's Day celebrating), how did you become a mother? And feel free to keep your stories coming on Twitter - tweet @BrianLehrer anytime.
Love that @BrianLehrer is giving air time to moms who did not give birth to their children ahead of Mother's Day. Motherhood is so diverse.

That's the idea. Call your moms, folks! (Heads-up: if they're listening to the show right now they might be crying.) https://t.co/YWSYcWF4ZT
