| Code | Display | Definition | 
| PRN  | parent | The player of the role is one who begets, gives birth to, or nurtures and raises the scoping entity (child). | 
| ADOPTP  | adoptive parent | The player of the role (parent) has taken the scoper (child) into their family through legal means and raises them as his or her own child. |

The placement of the child is usually arranged through the government or a social-service agency, and temporary. The state, via a jurisdiction recognized child protection agency, stands as in loco parentis to the child, making all legal decisions while the foster parent is responsible for the day-to-day care of the specified child. | 
| NMTH  | natural mother | The player of the role is a female who conceives or gives birth to the scoping entity (child). | 
| NMTHF  | natural mother of fetus | The player is the biologic female parent of the scoping fetus. |

| TWIN  | twin | The scoper and player were carried in the same womb and shared common biological parents. | 
| TWINBRO  | twin brother | The scoper was carried in the same womb as the male player and shares common biological parents. | 
| FTWINBRO  | fraternal twin brother | The scoper was carried in the same womb as the male player and shares common biological parents but is the product of a distinct egg/sperm pair. | 
| ITWINBRO  | identical twin brother | The male scoper is an offspring of the same egg-sperm pair as the male player. |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
| Lvl | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information | 
| Source | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) | 
| Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract') | 
| Display | The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application | 
| Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept |
