Thanks all for the comments. I understand that it will put in another person, I’m just really keen for it to not be unknown on the report. The adoptive mother does not have a partner and never has so putting an “unknown” partner in there is not correct. There must be a way of getting rid of the unknown part and just leave it blank. The birth mother and father are unknown and that’s fine, I am happy with that, but the adoptive mother doesn’t have an unknown partner – there just isn’t one. Maybe it is a glitch with the “just leave blank” option under customise??? Thanks for your help. Sue

Initially she says "a solo mother" there is an implication here that this was the situation at the time of the adoption. If that was the case then the addition of an unknown male partner to Sue would be incorrect. If, Sue, that is the case, please do let us know so that we are aware of the exact situation.

The child was not an immaculate conception, so he/she has biological parents. Personally, I use UnknownM for the father and UnknownF for the mother as biological parents, and then list the child as adopted underneath the mother and her 'other' (and even if she doesnt have any significant other relationship , the way Legacy is currently written, you cannot get around it) Jay On Wed, Oct 2, 2013 at 9:21 PM, Sue McLachlan <sue...@clear.net.nz> wrote: Hi, I have a solo mother on my tree who has adopted a child and I can’t get rid of the “unknown” father on the reports.
