My sister has three adopted children, two are siblings and the other a cousin who has several siblings.
Some of these siblings have also been adopted and they were all entered into the family tree without a problem, including the adopted parents when I intially entered them. However, another who is already in the family tree has been adopted by a single woman. I can not add her as the adoptive mother without the program insisting on there being a father, there is only a natural born father, not an adopted one. How do I add the mother alone? I have added her as an individual but can not link her using link as parent or link as child without the father and if I delete that box it deletes the parent/child relationship.

GenoPro has no built-in handling for such a situation. I would recommend using the Social Relationship (select the adoptive parent, press the keyboard key R and click on the child). Then, use a text label (keyboard key L) to specify "adopted by". You may also change the color and style of the social relationship arrow.

GenoPro does not insist that there is a father for an adopted child, but the adoption is to a family and not to an individual. You can certainly create single parent families with adopted children and the family line can be collapsed if required as in diagram b below.

The only problem, unless I am missing something, is that the child is already part of the family tree but is now being adopted. I am not adding a child, I am adding an adoptive parent to a child who is already listed as having two natural parents one of whom is dead. Will that work in that case and if so how do I do it?

Create a hyperlink of the already existing child and create the new parents as shown by Ron. This hyper-linked child will replace the "adopted child" in the graph made by Ron.

Instead of hyperlinking you can just 'link as child' to the single parent and change the status of the link to Adopted Child:

Thank you. That worked, all the kids are properly adopted.
