I have just had a bit of a play with this - and if you have designated a Child Status it does indeed show beside the children's names in Family View (very helpful if you also have 1/2 children showing because it reads - First Name Middle Name SURNAME [RIN] (Birth year / Death Year) (Child Status - in my case the user generated terms of Step-son / daughter of xyz) (name of other natural parent). Just as Linda McCauley said.
However - when I went into Options > Customise > View to check if I had it set to show status I noticed a check box for Don't show "Married". It was ticked. But what does it actually do? Unticking it didn't make any noticeable change to the Family View - but I'm not sure what it is meant to affect. Does anyone know?

It is not something I have used so I don't know what it should do and there is nothing to assist in the Help Files. To test it again I made my daughter adopted and nothing showed, and this is not because I have columns of kids! Whether other symbols affect the output I don't know. I would suggest that perhaps Legacy could give a definative answer?
