What I have assumed is that one of the two parents gave birth to the child - that the child is not adopted. If indeed the child is adopted then the whole issue is moot. Otherwise to my knowledge and understanding the female giving birth is the mother regardless of family connections. The other "parent" can be designated as one likes but she would not be the mother.

I would prefer not to have to make that decision at all, and be able to assign them as Parent 1 and Parent 2 or something. But, since I must choose, I look at them and assign the one with short hair wearing plaid flannel shirts the role of husband. ;-) Judie Legacy User Group guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ For online technical support, please visit http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp -- No virus found in this incoming message.
