Ron and Jenny, Thanks for your help. It's early morning and I'm much better now! I really thought I already had "Biological" on my master list of Child-parent relationships and I could not understand why it was not there. I've added it and now I can move on. I guess this is a feature that was added with one of the recent updates. You can't have one child-parent status listed as adopted, without specifying the relationship to the other parent.
