"Consort" also has a specialized use on tombstones, where it indicates that the deceased's spouse was still living at the time of death. "Relict" is used when the deceased's spouse had died previously. Although I guess this could be used for either sex, I recall seeing it used only on women's tom

I have the same situation with many of the families I work with (multiple fathers). If I were to do their genogram (strictly for genetic purposes) there is actually a way to indicate adopted, ect, so you can track a gene through a family. Just a thought. -- Kirstin [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Cat

Allen, The Brits used to call children born out of wedlock, "Natural" children, though I doubt there are many people who would relate to the term in other parts of the world. In the U.S. there is some use of the term, "Love Child," but that hardly applies to all cases. I wonder why you feel
