It is a bug.
It does not matter. The desktop version will not allow a qualifying child dependent at all unless both parents are the biological parents. If you indicate that only one parent is the biological parent then it always ends up being a non-dependent no matter how the questions are answered and part of the interview is skipped altogether. It is broken bad.
The online version is correct so I am assuming that the upcoming 1/7 update will fix it.
