"am I reporting the relationship the correct way?"

There are legal relationships and even no relationships (just responsibility), such as: children, foster children, adopted children, and just having custody, as well as minor, or adult; and guardian.

For Tax Purposes, you are asking about Dependents.

None of that is equivalent. And what to use depends on what you are using it for.

Adopted Children are family. Foster Children are placements.
