Orphaned Family Member
My wife's biological mother was a orphan born 1933 and adopted by a loving family from Long Island New York through the Sofia Fund. For my wife's Family Tree I find it troubling and confusing if I fill in the adopted maternal grand parents names. Am I making a misleading tree since they aren't biologically related? In this situation is there a way or place to show biological or adopted family members when filling out a person's information? No disrespect everyone is loved. I just find it troubling to fill out when it comes to the biological aspect of the information being presented in a Family Tree. Thank you Jeff.

On her profile Details tab, edit the Child/Parents Relationship to her parents by clicking on the relevant pencil icon. Then click on Add Relationship Type for each parent in turn, and select Adoptive from the resulting drop-down boxes.

It says "Add Relationship" but you can only have one so you are actually editing the relationship type, not adding an additional one.

I frequently see "biological" notations but I've never found where that is editable.
I would also like to know.
