The relationship of a child to his biological father and mother is obvious
and is therefore usually left blank. When a child is not the biological
offspring of a parent, the Legacy database can record the status of their
relationship which is not the same as child status. Child status should
only be used to record something about the birth of the child such as
stillborn, twin, triplet, stillborn twin, etc. The Legacy structure is
correct in that it has three separate fields for these three distinct
indicators...what kind of birth, relationship to father, relationship to
mother. Adopted, foster, natural, etc..should be in the relationship to
parent status and can be different for each parent.
The only thing that is needed is to have an option that will show the
relationship to father and relationship to mother when they are not blank on
the various output screens, reports, and extracts. Perhaps one of the
programmers could address this need.
