How Can i Include My Biological Mom as a M.o.b?

I was adopted at birth month including my birth mother in my wedding somehow. Whether that be in the ceremony or at the reception. My Adoptive Mother has said she would be OK with my Birth Mom taking the place as “mother of the bride “, but I feel that exclusive title and the main responsibility should be given to the mother who raised me (adoptive).
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could incorporate my Birth Mom into the wedding and make her feel like another mother the day of while not taking too much away from my Momma? So far my only idea is to have them escort each-other down the aisle.

Could you do a dance at the reception with your birth mom?

I agree with you, I think your adoptive mom gets the mother of the bride designation. I too am adopted, and that's what I would do. I would get biomom a corsage matching the rest of the wedding party, and include her in pre-wedding events as much as you want. That's about it.

That is a nice idea! I too am adopted and I will be recognizing both my mothers as mothers of the bride. Both will get corsages and both will be announced during the reception they both will be escorted down the aisle. I also wanna make it intentional when I am getting ready to have moments with both of them individually so they get that time. They don’t have the best dynamic so I want to make sure they are both recognized equally so their arernt hurt feelings.

Hey Y’all! As an update in case any brides come across this:
Before my father walks me down the aisle, I have a unique opportunity (because of my venue) for my birth mom to escort me from the bottom of the stairs, to the end of the aisle where my dad will be waiting. This way I can symbolize that she’s the woman who brought me into the world and gave me to my parents. This was the most significant/ symbolic way I could think to include my birth mom in the day!
