born in the covenant?

Post by myronl »

Trying to create a new record for a child born to a couple who are members but who were not sealed in the temple. The father was sealed in the temple to a prior spouse. When creating the new record for the child, a prompt asks: Was this child born in the covenant? Do I answer YES, or NO. My thought is no.

General Handbook 38.4.2.1 - Children Who Are Born in the Covenant (emphasis added)
Children who are born after their mother has been sealed to a husband in a temple are born in the covenant of that sealing.
