Focus the first child in Family View and click on the Parents' Icon (two adults with a number 1 on them) and Link the child to Existing Parents ie. your son and his wife. Repeat for the second child. Focus on your son in Family View and right click on the first child, select Children's Settings and then use the blue drop down arrow to set Relationship to father as "Step". If it is not on there, use the ADD button to put it in. Repeat for the second child. There is no need to enter anything for the mother's status. In Reports>Family Group>Report Options>Include check Child-parent relationship and "Step" will show in the report against the family. Please note that in some reports the children will appear twice, this is both correct and normal!
