or father (including the mother of an illegitimate child or the father 
of an illegitimate child if the usual family relationship existed), 
mother or father through adoption, or a person who for a period of not 
less than 1 year stood in the relationship of a parent to a veteran at 
any time before his or her entry into active service.''
