Pretty much, yeah. Love and expectations.

It's more the difference between a mere acknowledgement (not necessarily that binding under the Kane's World legal system in matters like, for instance, inheritance) and making her an actual part of the family (such that her name's now Wayne, she has a seat on the Wayne Industries board, and she'll automatically inherit his stuff if and when he dies without a lot of awkward faffing around in probate court). Helena was an adult at the time, so it wasn't as though there was anything to do with custody or seeing that she went to school or anything involved.
