Ah but Kishi saying Sakura is the mother is technically true. Sakura rasied her, Sakura was the one who for all purposes was the "mother".

Being the genetic mother, doesn't make Karin Sarada's mother. For me, its who does the duty and who provides the "motherly love" for lack of a better word.

A friend of mine was adopted and has met his birth mother, but he considers his adopted mother his real mother.
