  Isn’t that technically all biological dads?

    The existence of the term “biological dad” implies the existence of an “artificial dad”

      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.

        What about step dads?

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

  I don’t know how I missed this. Obviously you have the correct answer!
