Of course since she is your adoptive cousin there is absolutley no difficulty about inbreeding. However there is a terrible prejudice against marrying cousins. The prejudice makes no sense if it is applied in your case, but you will have to live with it. The thing is that the prejudice makes very little sense anyway. So here is a reference:An Association between Kinship and Fertility of Human Couples Agnar Helgason et al. SCIENCE vol. 329 no. 5864 February 8, 2008 page 813 – 816You can buy a copy of the article cheap from sciencemag.org. That is the American Assocaition for the advancement of science. They are really high prestige. Of course high prestige people can be wrong; they are all the time. That's why we have wars. Somebody with power gets stupid, often of both sides but always on at least one side.But we aren't talking "ultimate truth" here. We are talking about prejudice. So if you can quote an authority, you have something to say back. When you look over the article, I think you'll see that marrying a cousin, a real biological cousin is no bad thing. Not as bad as marrying somebody unrelated as far as biology goes. One could say that maybe a biological first cousin is a too close, certainly closer than ideal, but that's a quibble. You aren't actually cousins at all, so you can oversimplify it and not lose anything.It's just a tip, like you asked for. If you want more you can look a lot of stuff up on nobabies.net. I wish you both the greatest luck and happiness.
