If you look at the "Art of Kung Fu Panda" book, you'll notice that Po's mother was originally going to be a character in the book and he was going to be an indentured servant of the goose. However, they eventually started to like the idea of putting the goose in a kinder, more parental role and it eventually became what it is now.
I just assumed Po was adopted (nothing wrong with that. After all, Superman was adopted). The thing that actually adds to the comedy of the concept is that they don't make an issue out of it. Everyone in the audience is like "What, how is the goose his father?" and it's a complete nonissue in the movie itself.
