Hi Tracy,
When you link the foster child, you link to a new relationship so you
set special sentence structures in the Marriage Information screen.
instead of had a relationship try fostered a child
Check the didn't marry check box as well so
Marriage Events
Think of them as Family Events rather than Wedding Events.
If a couple fostered a child, make sure the child is linked to the
couple. Rather than to just the mother.
You can then have the child in the regular family with status Foster
child OR you can have a double marriage

There is no problem with giving children two sets of parents and in fact
this is how I handle these situations setting their realtionship to parents
as biological/adopted/foster/step as appropriate.

Hi Kirsten,
There is no clever way if you don't include Child Status or Events -
you've ruled out the clever ways.
It is very misleading to attach a non-biological child to parents
without including that that is what you have done in a very clear
