How to add surrogate children in a tree

I have a cousin and his wife that are about to have surrogate children. How do I add the children to the tree and be able to note who the birth parents are? There doesn't seem to be any notation in the system for surrogates. Thanks

If you are talking about Children who have been born naturally, and are being adopted by your cousin and wife, then FH/GEDCOM allows multiple Parents to be defined.
See how_to:recording_children_with_foster_adoptive_parents|> Recording Children with Foster/Adoptive Parents.
Other relationship issues are covered in how_to:index#beginners_guide|> Beginners Guide under Relationships.

Wonderful, thanks Mike. Also, how would I enter who the biological parents are for adopted children?

Sorry, I thought that was the question I had answered.

Ha, sorry Mike. I shouldn't be doing genealogy until I'm fully awake. Yes, you answered my questions fully. Have a wonderful day.
