Accounting for Adoption on my family tree

cheriluisajochim1

I want to account for my birth father and birth mother on my family tree. they never married. I was adopted by my birth father's older brother (aka my uncle). How do I do this on my family tree. currently, I have it incorrect and need help doing this so I may start Temple work for family members on this side of my family tree. thank you.

FYI

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

[ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]

Just in passing ...

FYI

One can have, up to a MAXIMUM limit of x100 Parents ...

[ But, I am not certain, if that is x50 "Sets" of Parents; or, just x100 individuals/persons ... ]

NOT that we would need to use do many ...

Now ...

That Said ...

You can easily accommodate BOTH, you "Biological" Parents; and, you "Adopted" Parents ...

Here are some "Knowledge Article", in 'FamilySearch':

You can make your view of parents as complex as you like. I am working on the birth tree of an adopted relative and her birth families come from several hundred years of being in the same community. Thus, I want to include in-law family of her birth parents because I have already discovered that the husband of birth mom was her second cousin. Birth mom and birth dad did not marry, by the way, but they each married other people. See my screen shot of that family group (heavily edited to obscure identities.) I switch the preferred couple a lot based on what I am researching.
