I'm not sure about adding her to Emma's family tree. She already has enough members. Besides, we don't know if the adoption had been finalised before she ran away, Ingrid mentioned that she was in the process of filling out the adoption paperwork at the carnival, and Emma ran away only a week later. I don't think that the adoption was finalised before she ran away. Despite them being together for around six months, it's implied Ingrid was only recently filling out the papers. So I'm kind of leaning towards a no based on this.

If the Swan Family later appears in S4, I still do not support adding them as Emma implies that they were only her foster family until they gave her back when they had kids of their own.

Unless its shown otherwise in both of these cases that Emma's adoption was undoubtedly completed, I am leaning against adding these people to her family tree.
