How do I correctly link a child with multiple parents?
A child was born out of wedlock, but both parents are known & noted. The child was adopted & raised by the childs Aunt & her husband. How do I retain the original parents in the Tree while also linking the child to their Aunt & her husband as adoptive parents?

Very easy, in fact.
.
In "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch", an individual/person can have MULTIPLE Parents; even, MANY Parents.
.
Whereas, an individual/person can only really have, one Biological Mother; and, one Biological Father; but, an individual/person can have multitude of "Parent-Child" Relationships.
.
Some "Parent-Child" Relationships are"
- Step;
- Adoptive;
- Foster;
- Guardianship; and,
- others
.
Sometimes the Biological Patents are known; and, sometimes they are not.
Sometimes only one Biological Parent is known (eg. usually, the Mother).
.

Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in "FamilySearch" on the matter:
