  Adopted dads are technically artificial dads.

    I don’t think that’s really true.

    Dad is a title, bestowed by anyone for any reason.

    “Biological dad” may have a specific meaning, but “dad” does not.

      It was a joke to begin with, and I’m just trying to run with it. Don’t overthink it :)

    What about step dads?

      In which context? They’re probably MFers too. If you mean artificial or biological… Could be either, but let’s go with 3rd party replacements.

  I would say that an artificial dad is the partner of a married single mom.
