A study of birth certificates of illegitimate children was conducted to estimate the ultimate family status of children born out-of-wedlock in Massachusetts.An indication on the birth certificate that a "legal correction" had taken place was interpreted as a manifestation that the child had been legitimated or adopted. Linkage of the birth certificate of an out-of-wedlock child with a post-natal marriage certificate of his mother was interpreted as a manifestation that the child had acquired a father or substitute father after his birth. The majority of Massachusetts children born out-of-wedlock to white mothers, and a substantial minority of those born to nonwhite women appear to have been afforded a two parent family environment shortly after birth as a result of adoption, legitimation or a post-natal marriage of their mothers.
