Create A f Create B m Create C u Create D m Add Family - marry A & B and add C as their child. It defaults to biological. Mark A& B divorced (its a check box in the marriage record under Edit marriage. Add details if needed). Add spouse for A (this is the marriage to D) Select C Right-click Add New Parents Select D It will take you through several screens, and you will end up selecting D's marriage to A as the new parents. It will default to adopted. This is not ideal beause it lists C as being adoptively related to the marriage of D & A (not just adopted by D); but its a program limitation. Maybe that would be a wish-list item for future release - show one parent in the marriage as adoptive and one as biological.
