I think those edits are mostly based on a (extremely common, at least in the US) belief that adopted families are less than. I see it all the time on other wikis. The Friends wiki is the best/worst example of this that I've seen. I don't know if you've seen that show or not. I hope you have so you get an idea of what I'm talking about here. Chandler and Monica adopted a set of twins. On the Friends wiki, in every single infobox on all the pages of everyone related to those two kids, it makes the explicit distinction that those two are adopted. I really don't want adopted people or people with adopted family members to come here and feel like I felt when I saw the Friends wiki.

While it's pretty obvious and is considered a foregone conclusion by most people, we don't actually know for sure that Richard is her biological father. That could be a twist they've planned.

How would reciprocity work in this case? Like, what would Ellis's page look like, because she never met Maggie (outside of whatever amount of time she spent with her before handing her over to the social worker) and so hasn't pursued any kind of connection with her.
