Racial Heritage and Adoptive Parents

[CyberWyld]

So I'm a new Pathfinder DM. I have a player that wants to play as a human and still take gulch gunner (which is race exclusive to ratfolk). Can he access it with adoptive parents as well as racial heritage? The wording on these seems fuzzy to me. One is a feat and one is a trait I realize. But does being adopted still allow him to get the class without burning a feat? Can someone please help clarify. Thanks much!

Adopted

You were adopted and raised by someone not of your race, and raised in a society not your own.

Benefit: As a result, you picked up a race trait from your adoptive parents and society, and may immediately select a race trait from your adoptive parents' race.


Prerequisite: Human.

Benefit: Choose another humanoid race. You count as both human and that race for any effects related to race. For example, if you choose dwarf, you are considered both a human and a dwarf for the purpose of taking traits, feats, how spells and magic items affect you, and so on.
