Red, I am adopted and at age 35 tracked down my biological parents, so I now have two set of parents for me in my Legacy family file.
1. To add second set of parents, work in Family View and put the adoptee in the husband or wife box. 2. Next click the Parents icon (tool button) in the row of icons at the bottom of their box. 3. In the Parents screen click 'Add New Parents' and follow the steps to add the biological parents. 4. To set the preferred parents, highlight them and click Select in the upper right corner of the Parents screen. 5. To set the Child Status and Relationship to Parents start with the adoptive parents in Family View and then click Edit on the menu bar and select "Children's Settings". 6. In the Children screen set the Child Status to Adopted and set the relationship to the father and mother, then close the screen. Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the biological parents in Family View and set the Child Status to Biological and the relationship to the father and mother to Biological. When you want to generate book style reports for the biological lineage, be sure to click the Wording 1 tab and adjust the wording for the parents and children to suit your preferences. Also click the Report Options tab and on the Include tab select the options you want for Child Status and Child-Parent Relationships.

Searched the archives, but so much on adopted children, got lazy and decided to post my question here. My daughter-in-law was adopted shortly after birth. She knows little about her biological parents and relates well with her adopted family.... _____ I am using the Free version of SPAMfighter <http://www.spamfighter.com/len> .
