Foster-adoptive son won't call us mom & dad

We adopted our son from foster care when he was 8 years old. He is now 11 years old. During the 1 1/2 years he was our foster son, we told him it was ok to call us by our first names because we knew he would need time to adjust (he had been in 3 foster homes before our home).

Note:Probably because you're NOT Mom and Dad!
