As an aside ...
An individual/person can have quite a number of, Spouses; and/or, Children; and/or, Parents ...
In Family Tree, the record for an individual/person is a Maximum of:
- Spouses: 200
- Children: 400
- Parents: 100
Here is a "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch':
What are the data limits for people in Family Tree?

As you can 'see', a Child can be added to a number of different Parents (ie. Couples, Families).
The main thing, is to set the CORRECT "Parent-Child" Relationship, for the Child, depending on where the Child 'fits', into the Family dynamic (ie. Biological; Adopted; Step; Foster; or, Guardianship)
