I have found that if you make alterations like that you need to reset the relationships by running "set relationships" again.

What I mean is, I could do everything and the parent I prefered came up ion the window, but the thing i wanted didn't happen. That is this; The relationship for the adoptive parents were still "Son-in-law's Father"... and I wanted that to be changed to the biological Father. Some how it apparently remembered that the step parents were once the only and prefered parents. Is there a button or something I'm missing that I'm not seeing to set "Prefered Parents" in the parent list? I didn't see anything there.
