GEDCOM 5.5.1 and 5.5.5 do in fact support this, using the PEDI tag and it's subtags. Few, if any, current applications support it, but it's definitely worth including, if FamilySearch offers the relationship data.
Here's a snippet from gedcom.org showing how it should look in GEDCOM. See the second FAMC record (@F2@), with @F1@ being the biological family:
0 @I3@ INDI 1 NAME Joe /Williams/ 2 SURN Williams 2 GIVN Joe 1 SEX M 1 BIRT 2 DATE 11 Jun 1861 2 PLAC Idaho Falls, Bonneville, Idaho, United States of America 1 FAMC @F1@ 1 FAMC @F2@ 2 PEDI adopted 1 ADOP 2 DATE 16 Mar 1864
Assuming gedcom allows for it, I believe getmyancestors should retrieve and respect the parent-child relationship (bio, step, adopt, etc). The same goes for the "Preferred" status for the spouse.
