Within the current limits of the field, you could also put "Adopted by StepDad. Birth Mom" or "Adopted by StepMom. Birth Dad." I don't know if the field will be longer in Legacy 3.0 to be released in November.

One thing - this field only accepts 30 char. Any chance of lengthening the field?

Enter the adoptive child just as you would any other. 2. In Family View with the parents in Husb and Wife position, right click on the adopted child and select Children's Settings from the popup menu. 3. Highliight the adopted child in the Children box and click on the drop-down arrow in the Status field. 4. You can Add your own Child Status definitions. For example: "Adopted by Father: Birth Mother" or "Adopted ny Mother: Birth Father" would disting uish an adoption by a step-parent. Your comments are welcome.
