    To change the parents, go to the person page for the child. Scroll down to the bottom where it shows the relationship to the parents under "Parents and Siblings." Next to the name of the child, there is an edit button, click that. From there you should see the option to remove or replace each parent. Click on that option and follow the instructions from there. Do that with each parent to replace them with the correct parents.

    I copy the Child's ID number then I remove the wrong parents using the pencil icon and you can add the child to the correct parents using add child, then Add by ID option. Make sure you document changes and write a good reason statement so hopefully it does not get changed back. Support changes with sources.
