"Obviously, with the events spilling out of Batman #40, things are definitely going to be different for everyone in Gotham! But for Damian, we'll focus on his world that stretches far beyond the city. Also we'll look back into his past to see what it means to his future.
I'm interested in unwrapping the layers about how Damian sees himself and what it means to be the "Son of Batman." Talk about pressure! Think about it. No one else can claim that legacy. It is what truly defines Damian and makes him unique as a Robin." - Patrick Gleason

Jason is still adopted, and Tim is eventually adopted.
New 52 it's terribly unclear as they seem to keep changing their mind within weeks of a story coming out, so IIRC Nightwing #0 had Dick seemingly not being a part of Brue's life, but operating as Robin out of a care home, and then he's back to living at Wayne Manor in the more recent Nightwing Annual.
I thought they ret-conned the 'ward' thing...
