I get an error for adding an adopted child whose birthdate is too close to a biological child. What am I doing wrong?

I added Dobbin-264 as a child to parents I knew adopted him.  He is on the census as adopted and I marked him as non-biological to both parents.  I do not know the real parents names yet.  I then added a biological child for the same parents that was within 8 months of the adopted child birthdate.  It gave me an error for having two children too close in birth date which I told the program to add anyway.  Is there something else I should have marked to prevent this error or is that just the way it is until I get the time to look for the real parents?

I recently had the same problem.  About all you can do is check "save anyway"
and leave a note in the biography, or even as a research note, explaining
the situation.

And if it ever shows up as a suggestion just mark it as False.
