In California, if a child is born, the mother passes away at birth, the father later remarries and the child is raised by both his natural father, and his wife for the remaining years of both the married couples lives, does the law recognize this woman as the child's legal mother?

I read something on the California Courts/Parentage/Paternity web posted information site re parentage by estoppel in California that would confirm this but would welcome a second opinion.
