How do I add a child that was put up for adoption?

One of my students put her child up for adoption at birth. She still has contact with the adoptive parents. Do I add the adopted child to FamilySearch under the birth parents? Or do I not?

Question: WHY are YOU adding your Student's details into "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch"?

.

Your Student should be adding their OWN details in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch"; especially, if you are NOT related.

.

Your Student should have their OWN Account in "FamilySearch"- where you can assist them.

.

Now ...

That said ...

.

In answer to your question(s) ...

.

'Yes', in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" ALL "Parent-Child" Relationships SHOULD be included for an individual/person.

.

Those "Parent-Child" Relationships include; but, are NOT limited to:

.

- Biological

- Step

- Adoptive

- Foster

- Guardianship [ eg. Grandparents ]

.

An individual/person can CERTAINLY have MORE than one type of "Parent-Child" Relationship.

.

Of course, the most common and predominant one is "Biological".

.

But, other "Parent-Child" Relationships certainly occur later.

.

Here are a couple of "Knowledge Articles" in "FamilySearch":

How do I specify biological, step, adopted, and foster relationships in Family Tree?

The same child shows more than once in a family in Family Tree

----------

Sometimes you find a family where one or more of the children is listed multiple times. If the child had multiple parents, such a biological and adopted parents, this information may be accurate.

I hope this helps.

Brett,

I can see why my comment led you to assume that I was entering my students information. However, that is not the case.

I am guiding her and instructing her to do it herself. That being said, in the future, perhaps you shouldn’t rush to such judgement.

I was not rushing to such judgement; as, you have already indicated, your 'Question' leads one to consider/suggest my initial comment in my response to your post.

.

Aside from that ...

Does the remainder of my response sufficiently answer your question(s)?
