You may want to reformat the patch using tabs instead of spaces.

The custom here is to use "sizeof(type)". Brackets and typename.

"struct child **cradle, *blanket;" (the spaces before asterisks)

Aren't separate calls easier to read (and type)?

	memset(&newborn->address, 0, sizeof(newborn->address));
	memcpy(&newborn->address, addr, addrlen);

You don't even use blanket outside of the "if".

BTW, why do you need that pid_t->int cast?

An error checking wouldn't go amiss. And it can't be done with atoi
(consider strtol).
