The Church has NEVER bastardized children. What is annulled is he Sacrament of Holy Matrimony, the civil marriage stands. Only the Sacrament is affected. The children are seen as innocent victims of their parents and their status does not change.
the Sacrament of Matrimony is not annulled. The putative marriage was declared null because it never existed.
