Tracking adoptions

I am using FTM 2012.
My Grandmother was Adopted by a couple. I have attached the couple as the Adoptive parents, but I notice that in FTM the adoptive mother is noted as "Great grandmother of [me]". This should really be "Adoptive mother of grandmother of [me]". etc etc
I am wondering if I am missing something here. I also notice that if I run a descendants chart for the adoptive mother, my grandmother is listed as sister to the other biological children - no reference to the adoptive relationship.
Is there any way that FTM represents the adoptive relationship, other than a simple note in the relationships window?

Hope someone can give me a clue.

Regards

Richard Tomalin
