The people who raised you are not necessarily the people who conceived you, nor the people who owned the house you slept in.
I think ‘parents’ is being used as a proxy for ‘people who raised you’.
It seems odd to consider individuals that I saw perhaps one day out of eight, 9 months out of the year, for four or five years (the teachers in the gifted program) as ‘having raised me’, but oddness aside it is a compelling model in some ways, yes.
