Marriage with stepchild

[Nibake 4]

In my mind, semantically, when you marry someone with a child that child does not become your child. In our case, I have a child and my wife, the immigrant, is meant to answer questions and provide evidence on the Family Status portion of the I-944. Should she select "child" for what is actually her stepchild?

Child includes ALL children both step and biological

So evidence of relationship would end up being child's birth cert + marriage cert?

Quote

The term child includes stepchildren and adopted children,
as provided in INA section 101(b)(1).

 

I guess I hadn't looked hard enough in the instructions re: that part of the question.
