Since I am in the same boat, I played around a little with the descent report. I too was married and had birth children so I can't click "never married".
I went into the marriage info box. There is a number of things you can change there to improvise what you want to say. What I did was to put under Family View Labels: Left Side: NA, Right Side: Mother. in The Report Phases: Person 1 "as a single parent adopted" I couldn't figure out how to click on Person 2 so I went into the male side and, where the first name was suppose to go typed " a family of three children from Colombia in 1993" On the Descendant Book, where it says Children (if married) I put in "Children from this adoption were:" The report then reads Joan Best, daughter of ..... was born on ....... Joan as a single parent adopted a family of three children from Columbia in 1993. Children from this adoption were: 2. M i William Plazas was born on 7 Dec 1983 in Bogot�, Colombia. etc. The only problem is that the part of the sentence above that is in the name slot is in bold, but that problem can probably be solved, too.
