Familypedia:Adoption

The designer of our SMW stated that there was provision for adoptive relationships to be covered in separate "groups" of children. However, the current setup doesn't actually allow for it. An individual's page cannot have more than one page linked as "father" or "mother". We need something else, probably such as Property:Adopt-father1 or more simply Property:Father1.

A person can have more than one adoptive father and more than one adoptive mother, normally by successive adoptions but occasionally by same-sex adoptions. Thus the "father1" suggested above. As with weddings and child groups, the "1" would not imply the existence of a "2".

Once we establish such properties, our programmers will be able to find ways of using them for linkages and infoboxes.
