Adoption of stepchildren

My husband adopted my two children after we married. He calls them his children. One relative introduces them as stepchildren of my husband and step nephew and step niece to her. What is legally correct?

Re: Adoption of stepchildren

If a man adopts children, he is their father.

I would ignore the relative. It's not worth the hassel.

If the man calls them "his kids", that's enough!
