I do not think she is the biological mother. She is his mother and she did not want to make that distinction; coming to think of it we are the mothers of all children and we all feel their pain.

Iyal was adopted from Russia when he was an infant. The woman who raised him is NOT HIS BIRTH MOTHER.
From the NYT article "Wonder Dog" 2/2/2012
"The Winokurs flew to Russia from their home in Atlanta to adopt Andrey, whom they renamed Iyal, and to adopt an unrelated little girl two days younger, whom they named Morasha."

She is not his biological mother. He was adopted from Russia in 1999 at the age of 14 months.

No, she's not.

Is it known for certain he is not adopted? I never saw a mother get up and say, "yeah I drank while i was pregnant and now my child is severely disabled because of it." Most people adopt kids with FAS then find out that they have it later. I really hope this is the case if not shame on her.
