Good plan, thanks – I’ll do that for now – Maybe Legacy can sort a solo parent option sometime! Cheers Sue

In other words, if ya can't fight 'em, join 'em . . . Bob On 10/03/2013 16:21, Sue McLachlan wrote: 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.

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.
