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.

She passed away and I married Wife #2 and we had two daughters. Wife #2 legally adopted my son. When I display myself and Wife #1, my son shows up and I indicated his relationship to myself and Wife #1 as Biological. When I display myself and Wife #2 he doesn't show up unless I view 1/2 kids. But, now under Wife #1 my two daughters show up as 1/2 kids (I think this is wrong but that's a seperate issue). Anyway, I can't find anyway to get to a screen to show my sons relationship with Wife #2 as adopted. At one time I linked him as an existing son, but he sometimes shows up twice when 1/2 kids is turned on. Is this as clear as mud? Does anyone have any suggestions?
