child in common Explanation: I'm no expert, just giving my two cents worth, but it seems to me this refers to the child being adopted as if it were a child in common, or one born of the two adoptive parents. I don't know what the legal definition of "child in common" is but it appears often enough (6000+ hits on Google) |

child of the family Explanation: To me this sounds the most natural in English legal language, but not sure whether it is exactly the same as the German term This is the definition from the Children Act (in s 105) "child of the family", in relation to the parties to a marriage, means— (a) a child of both of those parties; (b) any other child, not being a child who is placed with those parties as foster parents by a local authority or voluntary organisation, who has been treated by both of those parties as a child of their family; or Child of the family – a child who has been treated as a member of the family – usually natural children, but may include adopted children and step-children (although not foster children) Reference: http://www.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts1989/Ukpga_19890041_en_13.ht...
