I've not had to enter an adoptive parent before and it's not as simple as I expected. Here is the situation, which would seem to be a common one. A & B have children (in my case, out of wedlock, but that shouldn't make any difference except for the wording of their relationship). B subsequently marries C and C adopts B's children by A.
To set this up, I entered A as father and B as mother. I then entered their children. I then brought up a child in the family view, right clicked, and chose add parents, since the option to add just an alternative father is grayed out. It seems I am forced to add B again and her husband C as new parents. The result in the family view for A and B or C and B is that the children are shown twice, with the second entry showing they are a half child by the other male. I doubt this is the way it is supposed to work. Could someone walk me through how you add the adoptive parent C? Thanks.
