Missing trait?

[julius_caesar_the_first]

In my Epeiros campaign while fighting Rome I found a General with the trait "Adopted into gens Cornelia" (or something like that). In my current Romani campaign I adopted someone but that trait did not appear. Is this a bug or something normal?

[Atilius]

Are you sure it was an adoption? Or was the character accepted as a client? The name of an adoptee changes and he gets an "Adopted into Gens ..." trait. A client's name doesn't change. Both are placed into the family tree.

[julius_caesar_the_first]

I'm not sure. I thought it was just an adoption and didn't read the message carefuly.

[Imperial Fist]

Its no bug i think. I also had some fms who were adopted into a gens, though i dont know when this happenes or why.

[Pezlu]

I got that trait as well when adopting, it's normal.

Sdoptions don't seem to be frequent however, it happened only once in my campaign.
