It's your tree - entirely up to you who you include. |

except that you might find it a bit tricky if you want to put 2 lots of parents on, unless someone else knows better? |

How about adding them as 2nd spouses to birth parents? Not sure how that would work out and would confuse the &*^%$ if someone else should see it! |

Thanks for the replys. I am not sure how to add them either. I also don't want people in the foster family to think I am adding people to my tree unnecessarily. Although I have spoken to a distant relative about the situation. I will look at my tree again and see if there is a way. |

Remember that if your tree is on GR, you cannot add living people unless they have given you permission to do so. |

It can be argued that a step parent is actually a foster parent. |

You could also just mention the foster parents and the dates they were relevant in the person's life in the notes section. |
