9.04.180 Adoption and Legitimation by Conduct
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this chapter, the father of an illegitimate minor adopts and legitimates a minor by publicly acknowledging the minor as his child, receiving the minor into his home, with the consent of his wife, if he is married, and otherwise treating the minor as if the minor were legitimate. Thereafter, the minor is deemed the legitimate child of the father for all purposes from the time of birth of the minor, the same as if the adoption has been finally decreed pursuant to this chapter.
