When attending a family reunion where they have a family tree physically posted in the room, do you think there should be special notations for the family members who've been adopted into the family?

It happened at one of our family reunions once. Took us by surprise when we got there. The folks who had the idea were just tickled pink, and actually made a formal announcement about it, as if it was the best idea anyone had ever had.
It devastated my oldest daughter (who is adopted, although I usually forget that,) and she didn’t go to another reunion for 15 years. I was VERY upset. I don’t think I was the only one, either, because they didn’t do it it subsequent years.
Am I the only one who viewed that as callous and thoughtless?
