Re: [Gramps-users] adoption relations

[Don A. <dal...@us...>]

Right now, there is no identification of a preferred family. This is
something I have considered, but just have not done.

It the pedigree view, if there are no birth parents, gramps will show
the adopted relationship (using a dotted line instead of a solid line).

Eventually, I'll probably have to add the concept of a preferred family.
It will probably take a bit of work, so I've been putting it off.
