| Aug 15, 2018 at 14:14 | comment | added | Mike | is there an official difference between step and foster mother ? igual en el español hay diferencia entre madrastra y madre adoptiva? | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 18:15 | comment | added | Rafael | Re: madrastra I was dubious. The DLE definition only fits English step mother, not foster mother. @ukemi | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 17:19 | comment | added | roetnig | @ukemi madrastra is the term of that acting as your mother not being your birth mother, with or without legal adoption. | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 17:18 | comment | added | roetnig | @Rafael I said what the term is, and usually that's how they are referred in conversation with a third person in order to differentiate them. Same as birth mother, foster mother or adoptive mother in English. | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 17:09 | comment | added | Rafael | You are right in the meaning, but I think you shouldn't address her as madre biológica or madre natural. Those are formal terms fit for talking about her, and maybe even only in written speech. | |
