Careful. You don't want to tick off those who have chosen alternative forms
of parentage, such as adoption, by excluding all such alternatives except
biological progeny (and thus suggesting that dependents who are not the
parents' descendents after the flesh are somehow inferior or less valid).
I think we're stuck with docupernonincomeearningmemberofsamehouseholdtation.
Take care,
