Carers Is another possibility.
ormiston Sep 10, 2017:
it depends how carefully it's been written Biological parent is clear, but if only it was followed by or 'otra personal. Strictly as it stands it must be an (emotionally close) stepparent
Giovanni Rengifo Sep 9, 2017:
@Phil That's exactly my point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_guardian
Again a "guardian" can be anyone, but here they mean strictly a parent, so you couldn't use that word in this case.
philgoddard Sep 9, 2017:
Giovanni You can't just ignore "o". You're either a biological parent, or you're a guardian with strong emotional ties - for example, a step- or foster-parent.
Giovanni Rengifo Sep 9, 2017:
@philgoddard In my opinion you're oversimplifying here. If they meant "parent or guardian", they'd say "padre de familia o acudiente" or something along these lines. Besides, a "guardian" can be actually be anyone, not necessarily a "parent", so that wouldn't work here. It is apparent that they mean "parent" here.
philgoddard Sep 9, 2017:
I'm not sure any of the answers works, because Luis has left out "biologicos o". You have to treat the sentence as a whole. "Padre o madre biológicos o de cercanía afectiva" basically means "parent or guardian".

Sorry, Luis, for some reason I can't copy-paste but this is what I found on the net.

On the one hand the biological mother or father and on the other, a man or woman, not necessarily of the family, with whom the child has developed strong affective ties. Elective as that bond is nourished by both, wether the basis is emotional or other.

I think it could also mean "foster or adoptive parent". What do you think?
