So, I want to put my discovery of an child placed for adoption in a genogram. The child was born to a relative and placed with some family a long time ago back in the era of completely closed adoptions. I get how to make a bio family and link into another family tree with the adoption connection, but is there a way to indicate, basically, this child was lost to us, not through death, but through adoption?

AND, to make things more fun, this infant turns out to be it's mother's step-father's child. I'd appreciate some help if anyone has any advice on how to map that!

Thanks,

Ellen

With an example like that it will always need careful study. I just tried to draw what you described and produced this. Having selected the adoptee, by pressing key H you make a copy on the same GenoMap, which can make things clearer. The Emotional relationship gives a line to emphasise this link.

You can add comments to this and also to the pedigree link. These do not appear on the screen, evan as cursor hover tips. However you could add a text box

Thanks! I'm surprised, by the way, there's not a symbol that means "given up at birth", but your solution works.
