Currently under "Henry Morgan" there's a listing for "Parental Substitute." Henry is Abe's actual adopted father, though, rather than a substitute. Is there another trope that would fit this better? (We do have "Happily Adopted" under Abe's listing.)

That's just a plain adoption. Not a specific trope.

Can we just cut that trope listing then? Calling Henry a 'parental substitute' has the unfortunate implication that this adoptive family is less 'real' than a biological one. (Didn't want to cut it without running it by someone, but it's problematic)

Added this to the cutlist; if you can fix its many problems before it gets cut, it won't be.

It's being handled here as well.
