See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliezer_Waldenberg>. REYW was,
among other things, the rabbi of Shaarei Tzedeq. You can assume he knew
the metzius. The only question would be whether the person reducing a
teshuvah to a one liner got it right.

In 15:45 he writes that a child conceived outside the womb is not
halachically related to its biological parents.
