Peer comment(s):
agree writeaway : since it follows the word status, this makes sense. meaning it 's person who descends from his parents, as opposed to adopted?

neutral jarry (X) : I don't think so. I am of Dutch parentage, but I may have been an adopted child of those parents. The point here is that you are not adopted but descend from your parents. See writeaway's comment.
