    (1) The term dependent shall apply to the wife, child, parent, 
grandparent, brother or sister of a registrant.
    (2) The term child includes an unborn child, a stepchild, a foster 
child or a legally adopted child, who is legitimate or illegitimate, but 
shall not include any person 18 years of age or older unless he or she 
is physically or mentally handicapped.
    (3) The term parent shall include any person who has stood in the 
place of a parent to the registrant for at least 5 years preceding the

induction.
