Parent-Child Relationships to **** Couples Cannot be Discerned

Jeff Wiseman said: When a Parent-Child relationship is assigned with a male and female parent, the relationship can easily be seen. With a **** couple, the parent-child relationship can get reversed but not known.

In the following family group, the daughter is assigned as a Step daughter of Test Father A, and adopted by Test Father B. This assignment is made as follows:



However, the relationship types are displayed as follows:



Normally the first relationship in the list would be the upper spouse (in this case Test Father A) and the second would be the lower spouse (in this case Test Father . In this situation the ONLY clue that you have is the positioning of the relationship types. But in this situation, they lie.

Note that as I was playing around with this, I had performed a Switch Parent Positions once or twice, so I don't know how this may have contributed to the scenario.

I seem to remember that **** couples can adopt children, even if neither is the biological parents.

That means that there will be instances where a child shows up as adopted to both "parents" in a **** relationship.
