I see enough
about
how to indicate when a
family
is enlarged by
adoption
, that if that were the case, I could put that in, but my concern is: How do you show that a family "lost" a
member
when someone was given up for adoption? I couldn't
find
anything in "
Help
" or even in these support topics.

The problem you have identified shows the difference between the studies of
Family History
and
Genealogy
. The latter deals with facts and an adopted child does have biological parents.
GenoPro shows genealogical connections but the in-built flexibility can be used , partly, to express the situation.
Points to consider is that from a family view the 'lost' child is dead and so you could use the date of adoption as
date of death
- obviously with comments to explain.
Comments could also be added to the
birth
record.
Another
option
would be to open the
Display tab
of the
Individual Properties
and set the Gender Symbol to the same colour as the background, so the display will show a
link
(which you could hide in the same way) but apparently nobody there. If a name had been chosen this can also be hidden by hiding Bottom
Label
If you want to show the adoption parents of the child then select the hidden icon and press key H which will create a copy (shown as 4 blue blocks, as the icon is invisible) and move where you want it
Press return to open properties and change the display to be visible
Other options include the use of colour to highlight the 'lost' child and also placing a label next to the adoption. At present GenoPro does not link labels to individuals, so moving that individual does not move a label
This problem is being addressed in
GenoProX
but probably the adoption issue has not been considered in this way
