Bran, the term natural or biological is gernerally used by adopted children and refers more to the lack of relationship (as in searching for my biological mother) than the marital relationship or the gene providers.

Gene providers! ha! that's a generous word! Yes, maybe as we have so many children born out of wedLOCK and so many women that are conscienciously unmarried mothers; those children just refer to their father as 'my father' whether they ever knew him or not.
( family ties are changing. Adopted and unadopted children, foster children, second marriage children and first marriage children from devorced couples often grow up and sit happily together at the shared grandparent's feasts. Not always, but most often)

xactly- .Plus I'd like to put a footnote to my former post.
Values are changing so rapidly. It depends mostly on the
mother and the surrounding adults whether the unknown
absentee father of a child is considered as good or evil.
We don't look upon on such a child as a bastard no more.
Maybe with 16 and a half million people on a pinhead size
of a territory we can only live well by being more tolerant.
(though tensions and irritations are increasing here too)
