After previous discussions about Father and Mother this seems
appropriate.....

Quoted from another newsgroup:

"The US State Department has announced it will change some of its
terminology on passport applications reflecting gender neutrality. The
words "mother" and "father" are being removed from passport
applications and replaced with terms "parent one" and parent two".
This is being done, according to the State Department "to provide a
gender neutral description of a child's parents and in recognition of
different types of families".

An article in the New American regarding this is available at:

For those who have used passports to obtain genealogical information may
find this change of interest. New passport applications become available
on February 1, 2011."
