TMG Adoption Sentences for when only one parent is adopting child
Tim changed the basic sentences for when you only have one parent adopting the child, like when a step parent adopts the child.  Thanks Tim for all your hard work.

I added the ones in red.

While Tim uses the same roles for each sentence set, if you are going to use all of them, I suggest that you change the role names to show the relationship in the sentence structure.  For instance, instead of Adoptee, I would use Adoptedbyfather or Adoptedbymother so that you  can tell the different sentences apart.
