So, just so I understand, should somebody who is studying family history use something other than Legacy? >From a family history point of view, a same sex union, with an adopted child is certainly a possibility, and should be catered for. It has the exactly the same genetic legitimacy as an a male/female couple adopting a child. My study is, and always was, family history. Frankly, while I do not have the ability to perform DNA checks, it must remain family history. The passage of time and privacy legislation probably prohibits the average researcher from performing true scientific, genealogy as defined earlier in this thread. As an aside, I notice that scientist have just managed to breed a mouse from two females (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3643847.stm). This is a true genetic example of the same sex union that was being objected to for Legacy (ostensibly on genetic grounds)! My conclusion is that same sex unions should be supported within Legacy, to support family history, legitimate same sex unions (with and without adopted children), and future applications of genetic technology. Hope that's an helpfull contribution.
