A '''parent''' is either the progenitor of a child or, in [[human]]s, it can refer to a caregiver or [[legal guardian]]. The [[gametes]] of a parent result in a child, a male through the sperm, and a female through the ovum. Parents are [[First-degree relative|first-degree relatives]] and have 50% genetic meet. A [[female]] can also become a parent through [[surrogacy]]. Some parents may be [[Adoption|adoptive]] parents, who nurture and raise an offspring, but are not biologically related to the child. [[Orphan]]s without adoptive parents can be raised by their [[grandparent]]s or other [[family member]]s.
A parent can also be elaborated as an [[ancestor]] removed one [[generation]]. With recent medical advances, it is possible to have more than two biological parents.<ref>{{Cite news | url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-23079276 | title = UK government backs three-person IVF | access-date = 30 June 2013| work = BBC News | date = 2013-06-28 | last1 = Gallagher | first1 = James }}</ref><ref>{{cite book|author1=[[Nadine Taub]]|title=The Law of Sex Discrimination|author2=Beth Anne Wolfson|author3=Carla M.
