When I go to the family of the children, (that is, the mother and
father) the kids are listed twice, once each with a 1/2. The word
adopted is not showing. Am I doing something wrong/

A child can have 2 sets of parents. In the event of an adoption the
word adopted appears in parentheses after the child's name. Nothing

That is the way it worked for me, and boy do I wish I could change it!
AND I put in the original father (second husband adopted first one's
children) just for completeness' sake, and he still comes up when I
click on the family even though the second one is the preferred. If
you figure out how to get the kids to show up only once, please let
me know.

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.
