Family Tree - Can I Add Sperm-Donor Father In Addition to my Birth Certificate Father?

AmyAnderson72

Hello,

I recently discovered I was conceived by sperm donation. I had previously listed my father I grew up with (the only one I ever knew was my father) in my Family Tree. Now that I have discovered the identity of my sperm donor father, can I add him to my family tree - and keep my "father" and his lineage on the tree as well?

Thanks for any help or suggestions!

Here are the options:

Yes, you can add as many parents as you've had, using the "Add Parent" button at the bottom of the right-hand column of the Family Members section, and you can mark each relationship by type (biological, adoptive, foster, and a few others that I don't remember offhand). They will all show in the Family Members section of your profile's Details page. On chart views, it will show whichever parent or set of parents is marked "preferred".
