What is this? Where did it come from and how would it know? No, this is not the tree of my biological family but nothing asks if these were my biological or adoptive family. The person in question was not my blood relative. This is my adoptive family. There's a reason I very rarely access Geni anymore.

Private - your choice whether or not you choose to use it - but a number of years after you joined Geni, Geni did implement labelling parents as "Biological", "Adoptive", or "Foster" -
Go to your Profile, click "Relationships" and look. - after the names of your parents, there is a Tab with a Karat that probably says "Biological" - if you click on the Tab you get those 3 choices.
By having left it as "Biological" you did in fact tell the system they were biological.

However, last I heard, it was counting paths thru parents labelled "adoptive" as being blood-related, so yes, a bit stupid.

Hopefully you can enjoy Geni despite this.
