He has recently found both his biological mother and father and their seperate families AND has also found out he has a older sister that was also adopted out ( now looking for her ). Is there a tree programme out there that allows the melding of his biological and adoptive tree in a form that recognises both sets of parents without the tree becoming a confusing mess...........

I use Family Tree Maker (FTM) which will allow you to create additional relationships, which includes having multiple sets of parents. You can choose the type of relationship for each one, e.g.Biological, Adopted, Foster, Step, Guardian etc.
