As some of you may know (from other questions and my profile) I am adopting my cousin. Last week, she was givin a project in school to do a family tree, complete with a picture and a descriptive sentance about each family mamber. Well, here is the pickle. She wants to do a "new family" family tree with the way she would be related to family mambers now that she is my daughter, not my cousin. This would make her dad her uncle, her sister her 2nd cousin, grandma would be great grandma, and so forth. Further more, her bio moms side of the family would no longer exist (her dad is my mom's brother). This is all very confusing, but I am happy and willing to help. The problem is, well actually there are two. First, her teacher wants her bio family tree and she wont do it. She says this is her family now and wants nothing to do with who she used to be. Also, there are no pictures of her bio mom available, and pictures of her dad are not allowed (not by me, by the system).
