Add Foster Sister/Brother to Other Relationships
The "Other Relationships" option is a great addition. It would be improved if there were more options, specifically adding Foster Brother or Foster Sister as an option. My father had a foster sister and brother that were part of the LDS Indian Placement Program live with them during his childhood, and they consider each other family. It would be helpful to be able to acknowledge this relationship with the "other relationship" option. Thanks!

Foster children can indeed be entered as attached to the family parent-child relationships:
You can represent them as nearer members of the family. You can do so by entering the child into the family then editing (clicking on their pencil) - then ADD RELATIONSHIP TYPE on each parent - to get the above parent-child relationship option.

So, I was raised by my Great Aunt and Uncle and when I added them as my guardian and also had my parents in my line, I had one issue. The issue was that it wanted to follow my uncle's line, which is still my line, but put me one generation ahead of what I really was. So, I took out the guardian relationship.
