Haven't spoken to 30+ year old biological child since she was adopted by her stepfather when she was very young. On the "freewill" I'm doing online, it's asking if they have children. Do I list her or is she no longer considered my child?

You would do well to name her and to note that you are leaving her nothing. Please also note that we are not yet at the stage at which internet wills necessarily do the job you intend them to do.
