Hi Tracy,
When you link the foster child, you link to a new relationship so you
set special sentence structures in the Marriage Information screen.
instead of "had a relationship" try "fostered a child"
Check the didn't marry check box as well so that these options are used.
Sorry - writing from memory and there may be a couple of other things
so read each screen carefully and then check a book report and see
whether it reads OK.
You also need to right click on the foster child when he's in Family
View as a child and go into Children's Settings. There you can set
Parent Child relationships and Child status.
You then need to choose to include these on Reports.

Hi Listers
I prefer the family history view of the world, I've got heaps of yyy
begat zzz, which are easy to add to the file. What about foster
children? I've got a cousin and in my family's view he is very much a
member of the family even with no biological ties, he became part of
the family originally as a foster child. How can I add him in to the
file? If I link him to my aunt, the reports come up with the sentence
aaa had a relationship and had a child bbb. Where do I change his
status to foster child?
Cheers
Tracy
