I was just thinking along the same lines. How do you record the child(ren) of a heterosexual couple who used a sperm donor? No different than how you would record the child(ren) of gay couples. One of the parents is not biological.
Certainly I have adopted children in my database. Probably within my lifetime they will marry and there's no bloodlines there at all. Should I stop recording at that point? Should I kick them out right now because they're mucking up the 'purity' of my bloodlines? --- JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog/ On 7/9/2012 9:48 PM, familytree wrote: > Using THAT criteria, I assume that you exclude any adopted children > since they have neither parent's bloodline...and using THAT criteria > then Legacy IS a genealogy program.
