Take the time to think. Who are your real parents?
Does is really matter who gave birth to you, as long as you have someone who loves you, and wants you in this world, and teaches you right from wrong, and raises you to the best of their ability?
To me, my real parents are the two people I've known my whole life. I do not consider the woman who birthed me my mother--well she's my mother, but she's NOT MY MOM.
