Family Tree Software for Adoptees
SOMEone needs to develop family tree software for adoptees. My family tree looks like a wagon wheel, not a tree at all. I have birthparents, adoptive parents, step parents, inlaws, step inlaws, etc., etc., and I can't find family tree software to accomodate them all!

Vivian, that is an excellent idea. I'm not sure how easy that will be to come by. If you spot it before us, please let us know!
(I have a wagon wheel too  )

I have been playing with family trees since I was very young, and used several different software programs. My experience is that several enable you to put all of the step, birth, adoptive parents in, but the issue is that you can't find a chart or report that prints it properly showing all of the pieces you want.
It annoyes me too, as I'm obsessed with family trees and regularly make up ones that can't be printed the way I want them.

TCK"s or Third Culture Kids are difined as "[A] person who has spent a significant part of his or her developmental years outside the parents' culture. The third culture kid builds relationships to all of the cultures, while not having full ownership in any. Although elements from each culture are assimilated into the third culture kid's life experience, the sense of belonging is in relationship to others of the same background." How being a TCK relates to my desire to adopt some day: I grew up an international child, and while the walls between country and race mean less to me than most, I grew up with an understanding of the influence of clashing cultures that is hard to explain to someone who exists in solely one culture. God has given me the gift of experiences to fuel my desire for international adoption and to understand an internationally adopted child's world.
