This is the way I have done it. I entered the person into my tree under the adopive parents. Then I clicked on the person and right clicked > selected add parents and filled in the names of the natural parents.
I wonder what other folk have done?

I also have done it this way. 
Genealogy: " I used to have a life, then I started doing genealogy."
"Documentation....The hardest part of genealogy"
"Genealogy is like Hide & Seek: They Hide & I Seek!"
" Genealogists: People helping people.....that's what it's all about!"
from http://www.rootsweb....nry/gentags.htm
Using FO and RM since FO2.0

Yes, having two sets of parents is fine.
Note also that when you click on the Parents row in the Edit Person screen, "Relationship to father" and "Relationship to mother" exist. Choices include Birth, Adopted, Step, Foster, Related, Guardian, Sealed, and Unknown.
In addition, an Adoption fact exists within the program, so can be used.

Don, I don't know that the "Relationship to" field is used outside of the Edit Person screen besides in the Relation field in the Family view, but Alfred specifically has often wondered aloud if it would eventually be incorporated elsewhere. I've not played around enough yet with RM5 to know if it might now be more widely used.

Is this information used anywhere in RM other than on the edit person window?
I had forgotten about that part!It is in RM4 also.

The relationship is only shown on the edit person screen. We have an enhancement request in the tracking system to show the relationship in reports, etc.
