N400 question on kids

When listing your children, do you include those "obtained" by marriage to the US citizen?

Thanks in advance.

Yes I read that .. in fact that is what caused our confusuion.

If all step children have to be included I would then have to include a "child" (who would now be around 45 years of age) of my first husband, who has never lived with me, who I have met twice and who I have no adress or further information on. And this person I haven't included on any of the forms I've filled in so far because I don't consider her on of MY children in any way.

I have an infopass on Monday for another issue, so I'll see if the immigration officer can clear this one up for me.

Thanks
