On Hannah's Individual Information Screen, add the Event - Adoption. Enter the information you have regarding the adoption.
The indication that she has two sets of parents is on the Family View Screen. Under her information on that screen, there are icons, one of which is Parents (a couple with white hair). If you have entered her as a child of both sets of parents, there will be a box to the lower left of the Parents icon that will have a 2 in it. When you click on the Parents icon, she will have two sets of parents shown. There are boxes at the bottom of that Parents Screen: Child Status, Relationship to Father, and Relationship to Mother. For each highlighted set of parents, enter the appropriate from the drop-down list. In the Descendant Book Report for any one of the 4 parents, she will show. At her generation level, the Event of her adoption will also show. You should also experiment with the Report Options>Include Tab for the report, on which there are options to include Child Status and/or Child-parent relationships. CE -----Original Message----- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfamilytree.com] On Behalf Of Kirsten Bowman Sent: Saturday, August 08, 2009 12:04 PM To: LegacyUserGroup Subject: [LegacyUG] Adoption Question Using Legacy Deluxe 7.0.0.9. Neither Help nor Customize give any clues, so . . I have a child with known birth parents (the Browns) and known adoptive parents (the Petries). There may be a relationship between the two couples, but that is currently unknown. I've entered the child (Hannah Brown) as a daughter of both sets of parents and noted her Child Status as Adopted by the Petries. The only place I see any indication of the adoption is on the Assigned Sources screen for Hannah and on the panel next to the Name List (buried under the Family tab). There's nothing I can see that appears on Hannah's Individual Information screen to indicate she had two sets of parents, and nothing prints in Descendant Book Reports for either set of parents regarding the adoptive situation. Is there a flag, icon, or a setting somewhere that I'm not seeing? I don't want to lose track of this situation and would like to see it noted somehow in the Descendant Book Report. Is that possible?
