I made a decision long ago that I was doing a "family" tree and
not a blood-line. My "big brother" is in the family tree, though
adopted, and though the other four children, including me, are
biological. When I prepare a report, there is a preface making
note that this is a "family" tree. Adoptions (when known, not
always shared by family members) are mentioned in notes with any
specifics that I *might* (usually do not) know.
