EXOD410 … children must bury their parents and fulfill the mourning rights in their honor, and children are known in Jewish rituals by their first name and then son or daughter of their parents' names. [The rabbinic interpretation of the biblical commandments to honor and respect parents (found in this verse and Leviticus 19:3), appears in B. Kiddushin 31b; see generally 30b-32a]. The child clearly owes these things to his or her social parents, for the Talmud states that children must honor and respect their stepfather and stepmother. [B Ketubbot 103a and S.A. Yoreh De'ah 240:21ff]
