Thanks, Cheri and João for your input on this. I currently have PAF 5 and am looking to move to Heredis 2014 since it is Mac based so I will look into how or if I can label these parents as adoptive.
My next question would be - do I bother to research the Benevides line since they are not biological? Or maybe I should just find out who Francisco's adoptive siblings were? Since I can't research the biological on him any further I think I'd at least like to have a snapshot of his family life with the the Benevides'.
