A Kinship report should only show people who are related, or are "kin" to one another as we used to say in the mountains. Adopted children are part of our family history but are not a branch on our genealogy tree. I think with the diversity in what constitutes a family these days the creators of genealogy programs need to reexamine the way they handle these relationships.
