Mumzi maybe! :-) <br />Actually I just remembered I looked up 'mother' in other languages a long time ago. So here, give him this list, after you've removed the ones you don't like. <br />French - Mere<br />German - Mutter<br />Bengali - Maa<br />Hindi - Maa-ji<br />Urdu - Ammee<br />English - Mom, Mummy, Mother<br />Italian - Madre<br />Portuguese - Mãe<br />Albanian - Mëmë; Nënë; Burim; Kryemurgeshë<br />Belarusian - Matka<br />Cebuano - Inahan; Nanay<br />Serbian - Majka<br />Czech - Abatyse<br />Dutch - Moeder; Moer<br />Estonian - Ema<br />Frisian - Emo, Emä, Kantaäiti, Äiti<br />Greek - Màna<br />Hawaiian - Anya, Fu<br />Ilongo - Iloy; Nanay; Nay<br />Indonesian - Induk, Ibu, Biang, Nyokap<br /><br />Thanks for coming by my blog. Don't really know what questions we have at the moment. Just starting out. I'm sure I'll do a post of all our questions along the way. I've had a few other foster mom's offer their advice as well. Someone in the area that has walked this before would be a great contact though if they're in our area. My email comes through on the comment.<br /><br />Regarding the race issue. What we were told was that some counties prefer same race placements but it's not that they wouldn't place with us.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484607337052505871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160721138896561904.post-62845676052975952022010-08-02T12:40:16.939-04:002010-08-02T12:40:16.939-04:00When I was a child I called my grandmother "m...When I was a child I called my grandmother "mama" and My mother "mommy" I insisted upon it. <br /><br />Maybe he can do that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160721138896561904.post-81755515805378397962010-08-01T19:14:39.385-04:002010-08-01T19:14:39.385-04:00Hi there!

I think we should share ideas for parenting through the chaos??? Let me know.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02796074113452787998noreply@blogger.com
