Go to William's Person View. Find the Father-Ado tag in the Tag Box.
Highlight it and click on the asterisk icon to make it the Primary Father
tag. You probably already have an Adoption tag assigned to William setting
the date of the adoption. You may or may not want to adjust the Tag
Sentence. Add John Smith as the Witness and adjust the Witness Sentence as
needed.

Hope this helps -
