	In theory she should be with her real parents. You can link her to both by adding one real parent as a partner to an adoptive parent.Explain in the notes.

	if you are talking about the mechanics of building a tree on this site, one way is to add two people that actually dont exist- call one person Surname :Family Forename: Birth and the other Surname :Family Forename: Adopted You can then give those two people parents- one pair being the birth parents, the other being the adoptive ones. Yes it then appears they are her grandparens, but you know - and can note- that they are nott
