Dan it matter the heck to the child involved. He or she has two families in gen. In life maybe the only one they care about is the adopted one and they in reality are considered as having two sets of parents. Something that only required a simple answer like put them both down , with their own category has turned, at least for you, into a major project of an answer. but then then why should you be any diferent then most not all but most in geni. making mountains out of very small mole hills.? Adopted by their names is fine but like I said if you know their real parents, the ones who acturally made them, then they and their lines should be included in the person's tree. Hence two families legal and by bith. What's the problem here/
