I couldn't say that. My biological mother was an unwed 16 Y.O. when she got pregnant with me and an unwed 17 Y.O. when she gave birth to me.
Not that you suggested otherwise, but I am not ashamed of it one bit as I had nothing to do with her becoming pregnant. Then again, unless you knew his parents were not married your comment seems to imply that being a bastard is something to be ashamed of.
