    You would index the adopted parents.

    • For multiple parents, such as a set of birth parents and a set of adoptive parents, index only the current set of adoptive parents.

    If the child has a name change, you index the names separated by the word "or", for example,

    Given Name: Norma Jeane or Marilyn

    Surname: Mortenson or Baker Or Monroe
