Is this OK for Past Family History? (PFSH)

I received a progress note which only stated "adopted" for past family history. Does this count at all?
 
I would say NO because per CMS it states that family history is a review of medical events in the patient's family, including diseases that may be hereditary or place the patient at risk

So I would say no for just 'adopted'.
 
As the patient is adopted, we can credit it as family history if family history is non contributory to the presenting problem.
