Question about SimLogical teleporter-plus & adoption feature

Thank you, Inge! So just to make sure I'm getting this straight: adopt them out using the teleporter-plus, then adopt them back into the family via the telephone and things should be set right.
I believe that after you adopt the child with the social worker there will be no difference between whether they were taken away in the first place by a social worker or whether they were put up for adoption by the teleporter. The difference will remain that the parents who lost the child will not have a memory of losing it. That might affect how they respond to the child if they meet it later. But you seem to be saying you just want it back in the same family again, but set up right this time?

But couldn't you, say, have the wife of an abductee adopt the baby via the shrub without having social services take it? The husband is already a parent and since NL there's no more Pollination Technician on the family tree so really all she wants in this case is to add the wife as the second parent.
I am not sure whether it deletes all previous parents as part of the adoption process. If it does, then it will end up only related to the mother. But loads of times I did get a normal adoption with two parents on the tree. I wasn't sure what the reason was, but I think if one of the natural parents was dead, then the process for removing them gets interrupted or something. I still advise serious players to use the social services whenever possible :)
Ancient Sim:
Pollination Technician is still shown as the other parent in my alien Sims' family trees, or does this just apply to new ones and if so, why? Is it a glitch or "by design"? I did notice that all his memories had been wiped clean.
Motoki:
From what I've heard, it's just new ones born after the patch. It doesn't delete him from the neighborhood or existing family trees, but he doesn't get parented to any babies born from abductions post NL.
I haven't heard anything official from Maxis on this, but the general concensus seems to be this is a "feature" to address the problem that many complained about that all their children from abductions were siblings and thus people could not breed aliens together.
Regina:
I think first I'll just give it a whirl setting her as the mom using SimPE and see how that works out. Hopefully that will count toward her six children for her LTW, which is my main concern here. :)
