How about using the terms that Jonathan uses:

  Requester: the process that asks the "foo constructor" to
       instantiate a new process that executes the "foo" application
  Constructor: the process that does the instantiation
  Yield: the process instantiated by the constructor.

That way there's no "parent" to get confused about!
