I do think having a mother of the First Brood would be more interesting for the story, but there doesn't necessarily have to be one.
Well, that's part of the reason I say she's MIA, because as far as we the character know, she's just not around. Until it's explained further, I'm not sure if assuming one way or the other is better.
