Meanings

1. (informal) A biological child.
   • If your spouse dies intestate (that means without a will), you will generally inherit between one-third and one-half of all the estate, and your spouse’s biokids will split the rest. If there are stepkids (in this case, your own biokids) involved, things might get hairier. 1998, Ericka Lutz, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Stepparenting, Alpha Books, →ISBN:
   • All of the other couples had gone to great lengths to have biokids of their own, and only after undergoing wildly expensive, often humiliating, and ultimately futile fertility treatments, did they “come to” adoption. 1999 September, Dan Savage, “Pick of the Litter”, in Out, page 66:
   • Help minor and grown biokids grieve (normal) fantasies and dreams of bioparent and birthfamily reunions. 2001, Peter K. Gerlach, Build a High-nurturance Stepfamily: A Guidebook for Co-parents (a Divorce-Prevention Series; volume 4), Xlibris, page 364:
