Even though Joe Gargery was more like a father figure to Pip, I don't recall anywhere in the book where it said that he was Pip's "adopted father" as he is described in your summary. Joe married Pip's sister, so that would make Joe Pip's brother-in-law. Pip's sister may have raised Pip and been over 20 years his senior, but she was still his sister, not his adoptive mother.
