Family Trees, Isn't He Part of Ours Now?

Another thread got me thinking....if a child joins a family through adoption isn't he or she as much a part of that family tree as a child born to that family?

I suppose if the tree was done for scientific genealogy purposes it might be different but for childhood projects wouldn't E just use our family tree?

I'm all for honoring his biological heritage but shouldn't we just keep it simple for young kids? I'm talking preK through Junior high for instance.
