[Avodah] how to 'fix' a mamzer

[M Cohen via Avodah]

R' Micha - thanks for the m"makom - still have to look it up.

RMB also asked - Are you asking why a man might want to have children
other than his chiyuv to do so?

Ans. I am aware that a man can (and might want to) raise children not
his own. Ie adoption.

My question was that R Tarfon seems to imply that his eitza is more than
just adopting and raising children not his own.
I didn't (and still don't) understand why his eitza is better - they
are not mityaches to him in any way.

RZS's answer is not true.

BTW, thanks to Reb Google, see article on this subject (though it does not
extensively deal w/ my questions)
