<p>Hi everyone. I'm filling out my common application. I have a question: is the parents section strictly biological? Even if my mom remarried, I still have to fill in my birth father's information as parent 2?</p>
<p>Thanks everyone.</p>
<p>The parental information in the Family section is biological. You may list your stepfather under “Additional Information.” The instruction below the “Family” heading says:</p>
<p>“Please list both parents below, even if one or more is deceased or no longer has legal responsibilities toward you. Many colleges collect this information for demographic purposes even if you are an adult or an emancipated minor. If you are a minor with a legal guardian (an individual or government entity), then please list that information below as well. If you wish, you may list step-parents and/or other adults with whom you reside, or who otherwise care for you, in the Additional Information section.”</p>
