They're not family, though. Maggie is part of the Pierce family. They've even both (Maggie and Meredith) referenced that in the show. Maggie told Richard, "You're not my dad." and Meredith, when Derek called Maggie family, shrugged and said, "Ish."

The lead-in on Maggie's page (usually the first place a new user's eyes will go) sates that Ellis Grey is her birth mother and her page elaborates on the circumstances of her life. Meredith is down because she did start to develop a relationship with Maggie (and we put Ellis because Maggie stated she felt a connection with her and that's what brought her to Seattle.). But we feel very strongly (and are backed up by the show and the show's creator, who has two adopted children of her own) that Maggie's a Pierce and her infobox should reflect that.
