Best Answer

Borne would be the preferred usage here. While both borne and born are past participles of the verb to bear, linguists have made a distinction. Born is used when referring to a physical birth, with the focus is on the offspring. It is always used passively: "These kittens were born only yesterday." Borne is used in all other senses: "My efforts have today borne fruit." And borne is used when the emphasis is on the birth-giver and the voice is active: "This mother kitten has borne two litters before."
