In most countries, a child born to married people, the status is not noted, and only those children born otherwise have a word meaning that; illegitimate or natural, etc. So the program 'assumes' legitimate unless otherwise noted. Natural has two different meanings. The 'legal' one means illegitimate and the 'medical' one means without medications during the birth (and other variations). Rich in LA CA
