Ahh, but this couple did have a child. They just didn't have any biological children. How do you think the adopted child would feel to see that his parents had no children? Furthermore, legally it would be incorrect to say that the couple had no children.
I show that our adopted child is adopted in the child status, but I would be very upset if there were an "A" next to his name in the list of our children.
