For the daughter's family: You can add the child into the family, and set the parent status's as "Guardian". I would probably make up some type of event to add to the child (not sure what I would call it) to indicate when they joined the family, and later one to indicate when they left it. And add lots of notes!
For the son's family: the child would be entered into the marriage(/relationship whatever) of your son and the mother. For the parent status enter "step-parent" for your son, and presumably "biological" for the mother. If you have info on the actual father, you can have the relationship/marriage/whatever of the father and mother, the child entered there as well, with the parent status set for both as "biological". Hope this helps!
