Fred Zimmerman asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

What is the status of Miles's children on Cetaganda? Are they haut? How would they be received when visiting as young adults?

Lois McMaster Bujold
They are considered Barrayaran Vor, and would be received as visiting foreign VIPs (or dependents of same.)

(Well, someone like Benin might see them as equivalent to live grenades, but that's a different consideration.)

Miles's genes being formally taken up by the Star Creche doesn't make him socially or politically haut (nor would he consent to such a conscription); they would not be used entire, after all, just taken under close consideration.

Ta, L.
