Yes ... there is a father but -- there should be no spouse/partner/significant other/etc. relationship to the adoptive parent/sperm donor recipient/etc. parent. Someone suggested deleting the phantom individual, however I haven't figures out how to do that. A right click on the offending Unknown results in options to add a husband or edit the marriage. There's no way to delete the individual, and how to delete him to make the relationship go away is the issue. Even with the *This couple did not marry* box ticked: The Descendants Book Report includes a line that says: Jane had a child with __________________. The Family Report includes a major block of blanks for information about the *Husband.* The Individual Report reports the father unknown under a *Spouses & Children* heading. The Descendant Report shows the father to be unknown, but still includes the + sign that indicates a relationship with the mother. None of these reflect the situation. Jane had NO relationship with the sperm donor (or birth father in the case of adoption). BTW, the obvious solution of identifying the partner as Mr. Sperm Donor isn't really an option, as it this is more information than the mother is willing to divulge.
