Ferocious Dragon found in town. Now that I have your attention!! Hope I haven't asked this question before. I'm now up to entering this bit. There may not be a correct or incorrect answer. Would like opinion. If you had an adoption in your family tree. Person adopted just after birth and name changed. Always knew of adoption but never bothered to seek info. Have done research and now know most of the story. |

Hi, I'm assuming there is no "right" way. I just put my (adopted) little sister in with all her names and let her look like the biological daughter of my parents, but with notes explaining.....not ideal, but she is part of our family and this felt like the right way for me to do it! |

Well, I'm adopted but I'm on my tree on here as the child of my adoptive parents - my birth parents aren't mentioned at all - but that's partly because I'm not looking for biological relations and partly because I think of myself as being the child of my adoptive parents, having been adopted as a baby. |

Thank you for your answers. Surprisingly the request to be put on the tree under the biological parents came from the person concerned. I had entered them under the adoptive parents whom they had always recognised as mother and father. |
