That's really up to you. Based on what I've read, that's what you believe, and you're worried that others may not think the same way, along with your own self doubt (correct me if I'm wrong). Legally, no you are not a mother. But honestly, legality doesn't mean shit when it comes to things like this.
You want very badly to undo the past, and while I think that considering yourself a mother might hinder your progress into the future, you need to know what you consider yourself right in this moment. To hell what other people think. Other people shouldn't define who you are.
