3. For the adoptive child’s timeline there is no listing of an adoption.

The Timeline is dependent upon what you select as options. Births are always going to be recorded for children on their (adoptive, if applicable) parents' timelines.

If an adoption is not part of the Other Information, then it won't be listed. If the Other Events is selected for the timeline, then those events will be listed in the child's timeline.
