if you think of him as a son, then yes.
if not, no.

I think I would, it's a sweet gesture and if you have a good relationship with him and spend a lot of time with him then yes.  If it was a situation of he and his mother lived across the country and you've met him twice or something, I would say probably not  

Also, I would like to think that his mother would appreciate the gesture of you viewing him as part of your family and caring for him.

DH and I had this discussion last night since that is what he wanted to get me for Mothers Day.  We decided to put his name on the necklace.  I've been in his life since he was 4 and he's 9 now so we definitely have had time to form a relationship.

I think given as much as I do about you and your relationship with him, it would be completely appropriate.  My stepmom has always included me on things like that, and my mom has never taken offense.  I guess whether or not it bothers her really depends on her though.  But I think you'd be fine including him.

Yeah i've been a part of his life from day one and he's 8.5 yr old, so we def. have a great bond (sometimes too great cuz he will ask me all the awkward questions im not ready for like asking how they got Jack out, etc.). I think his mom would think it was a nice gesture because we get along and she knows he's special to me and vice versa but i just wanted to mak sure it wasn't weird.
