The cases you are talking about all have 2 parents, even if sometimes we don't wish to record one of them. The case I described only has 1 parent. The best solution I have found so far is to enter "Adopted by Single Parent" in the spouse record to make it clear that there will not be a second parent/spouse found for the marriage record. I might also mark that fictional person as "private" and "invisible" but other than those procedures, there is no method in the Legacy database tables to record these single parent adoptions.
