RE: [LegacyUG] Adopted Children
When you enter him as a child of you and your 1st wife, he will be a full, but when you also enter him as a child of you and your 2nd wife, he will be listed both as 1/2 and regular under each family because that's what he is. He is a biological child of both you and your first wife, so you enter him as a child of you and your 1st wife. Then right click the list of children, and click on Children's Settings... Highlight his name and specify Relationship to Father: Biological, and Relationship to Mother: Biological. H will now show up a 1/2 child when you display the Family View for you and your 2nd wife. Since your 2nd wife has adopted him, you want him to show up as a full child for this Family View. To have him show as a full child of you and your 2nd wife, you must also enter him as a child of you and your 2nd wife. Legacy will warn you that he is already a child of another family and ask if you want to enter him again. You do. Then, in Children's Settings, specify Biological and Adopted, respectively. He will up show up twice under each family, once as 1/2 and once as full, which is correct. On his family view page, it will show he has two sets of parents. Hope this is clear.

Re: [LegacyUG] Adopted Children
Let me see if I can help. When you select to show 1/2 children, the Family View will show all children who are *linked* to at least one of the two main persons (usually husband wife). The 1/2 indicator means that child is only linked to one of the two main persons, not both. It doesn't mean anything about a relationship, just the linkage. I don't think this affects any of the *reports*, just the *view*. So if you want your son to appear on *reports* with wife #2, you need to link him to you and wife #2 (in addition to you and wife #1). When you select show 1/2 children, it *will*, in fact, cause your son to appear twice: he is linked to you and wife #1 so that is the 1/2, he is also linked to you and wife #2 so that is the other entry, without the 1/2 indicator. But him appearing twice is only on the view screen, not in reports. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on any of this.

RE: [LegacyUG] Adopted Children
If he is listed as full child in both families, which is normal when a child has been adopted, then in the Children List of each Family View, he will appear twice, once as Full child, once as 1/2 child. On your Individual Report, he will be listed twice, once as the child of you and your 1st wife, and once again as the child of you and your 2nd wife. You will probably want to check the option Show Child-parent relationships found on the Include tab of Report Options. Then the relationship will be in parentheses after his name on the report. For your 1st marriage, it will be: Children: Name (date-date) (Father: Biological) (Mother: Biological) For your 2nd marriage, it will be: Children: Name (date-date) (Father: Biological) (Mother: Adopted) For the Family Report, he will show on each IF you have listed him as a full child of both you and your 1st wife and of you and your 2nd wife. You may also want to check Child-parent relationships on the Include tab of Report Options. If you entered the adoption as an Event on your son's page, then you should also check Events for children on the Include tab of Report Options. Then, in each Family Report, under Children, son, the Event of his adoption will be shown.

Re: [LegacyUG] Adopted Children
Matt, I would think that if this was not shown as an error then no error would be shown for a birth that was, say 1,000 years, prior to the marriage date and that would clearly be in error. I suspect more births occur after the marriage even for adoptions and to me it makes sense to have it show an error for you to check. You can then choose to exclude this once you have checked. No software can be all things to all users. I think the way it is set up now is best for most users. Cheers, Mitch On 7/29/07, Evan Henderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Why do adopted children whose relationship is shown as adopted in the child status and whose date of birth is before the marriage date of their adopted parents still show up as an error? Birthdate is before the marriage date of Parents. I know I can exclude them from the error, but can't this be fixed in Legacy 7? Why doesn't the error finding mechanism recognize these kids are adopted? Matt Henderson Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

RE: [LegacyUG] Adopted Children
Marg, It is possible for children to have two sets of parents, biological and adoptive. Click on the Parents' Icon and you are given the option of entering new parents. If you go to the child's adoptive parents, right click on the child then Childrens Settings, you can set the relationship to Adopted. I cannot remember if this is actually on the default list, if not use the ADD Button on the Child-Parent Relationship Screen - brought up when you click the blue down arrow on the Relationship Boxes - and put it in.

RE: [LegacyUG] Adopted Children
Marg: This is rather simple to do in Legacy. 1) You enter the biological parents for each adopted child. 2) Next, enter adoptive parent(s) and mark the relationship to father/mother as adopted. This way the child is linked to all parents. You have the option to choose which set of parents is the preferred view.

RE: [LegacyUG] adopted children
Select the Father. Add 2nd wife. Now the child shows up with 1 set of parents: Father and 1st wife. Select the child. Add new parents: Father and second wife. Now, the child has two sets of parents. You may then set the child's relationship to all three parents to adopted or biological as appropriate. And as someone else just pointed out, it's a little cool to bare it at the moment ... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pat Jones Sent: Friday, December 22, 2006 10:40 To: LegacyUserGroup Subject: [LegacyUG] adopted children I'm new; bare with me!

This is very easy Pat, just go to the biological father and second wife's screen, now go to the add button at the top of the screen and click on son, a new screen will come up so click on the link to existing person button, scroll to the name of the child, highlight the child and click the select button. When a new screen comes up saying that this child belongs to another set of parents just click the OK button to attach him to a new set of parents. Now that he is attacked to the biological father and second wife, go to the view button at the top of the screen and click on it then click on the childrens list, now for the fathers relationship click biological, for the mothers relationship click the one that best describes her relation to the child (step, adoptive, etc).

Hi Ron, You can add the children normally and then right click on one when in the Children Position and choose Children's Settings From there you can add Child Status, Relationship to Father, Relationship to Mother for each child. If you know the natural parents, you can add them as a second set of parents. If you want to record other details, you could make an event for each child and/or for your sister. The current Adoption Event is set up for the child.
