Cecelia Doughtery (or Bupert) was the adopted mom of my father John Harold Geibel and Raymond Kiley was his biological father.  My dad always thought that he was adopted by distant blood relatives.

If any of these people are still alive it is the policy of WT not to discuss them or display information on them.

However, if you want to , you can go over to www.familysearcy.org and sign in and use that search facility for them

They aren't living.
All to the good insofar as you being able to profile them, and to document birth, death, marriage/divorce.

In the event there was no legal marriage according to the laws of the State at that time, there is a provision where a child can have two parents who are not legally married to each other.  

I see you have profiled your father. Profile Cecilia as his mother and label her as NBP (Not a bio parent) and profile Raymond

When you say adoptive, do you mean step-mother, foster mother, or legally an adoption occurred?

 A foster mother can be through the County / State, or it can be informal (friend of the family etc) A step-mother is legally wed to the father or it can be his partner living with him as a wife.  WT has a "department" devoted to adoption matters which you might want to contact

At any rate, do the profiles as best you can, and then any errors can be corrected, relationships re-arranged.

You'll have to decide which surname to use for Cecelia as her birth surname. If that is later proven in error it can be corrected

I suggest you start with www.familysearch.org (it is free, just requires a user name and password, and I strongly suggest you use the identical to what your login for WT is) and by doing a search for each of these people you may be surprised to find out how much there is in records on them (county, state, fed) --
