For some reason I can't stop playing with the idea that "Raven" is Blake's mom. (Unless I'm forgetting some obvious fact about Blake's parents that prevents this)

Blake's parents were heavily involved in the WF. It would make sense for her mother to have a Grimm Mask. Assuming she was a former member, it would also make sense that she knew what the White Fang was up to, even though it is under the command of Torchwick right now. If she was in the WF, it would make sense that she and Adam seem to be so closely coordinated (in color and weapons). Maybe Raven was Adam's mentor, handing down her weapon style in the same way Qrow handed his to Ruby. This would explain why Blake became Adam's apprentice, because he was so close to her mother.

However, there is plenty of evidence supporting Raven being Yang's mother:

First, she saved Yang. A very motherly act. Second, the second half of this season strongly developed Yang's mother, and this was a logical way to present the character.

But I think there is another strong piece of evidence against her being Yang's mother. Qrow's and Summer's team seems like it could definitely be Oz based. With Qrow as the Scarecrow, Summer as Dorothy, I would guess that the last two members Taiyang and Yang's mother are probably the tin man and the cowardly lion. For some reason, I can't see our bird themed Raven fitting either of those.

Sorry for the wall of text.

tl;dr Maybe Raven isn't Yang's mother, but Blake's?
