John, When on the family view page for Fran and Dennis, Right click on the children to bring up the Edit Children dialog, select one daughter, in the relationship to Father and Mother drop down boxes enter Biological.
Then go to the family view for Fran and Jim, right click on the children and in the Relationship to Father and Mother enter Adopted for the Father and Biological for the Mother. Ensure that the marriage date for Fran and Jim is after the date for Fran and Dennis, Highlight Fran and right click on her spouses and make sure that they are sorted by date. That should give you what you are looking for.
