Just an FYI, I talked to James Jacobs. Adopted is a social trait. Entymologist is considered a racial and a social trait both. Therefore, a player wouldn't be able to use Adopted trait to take Entymologist trait.
Just out of curiosity, what trait is this? I'm not sure whether you mean Etymologist, Entomologist, or if Entymologist is some other word I'm not familiar with. :P
It is Etymologist, a social trait in Gnomes of Golarion.

I understand the concept that you can’t take two traits from the same category. But disallowing a social trait because Adopted is a social trait seems counterintuitive when you can take a combat trait that changes your physical make-up like Toothy. I always thought that Adopted was a non-trait that just let you take a trait from somewhere you wouldn’t ordinarily get to take a feat, and it would seem that social traits from that other race would be the ones that would make the most sense.

That is the word directly from James Jacobs.
What stats are used for minimum ages for those classes not listed in the Core rulebook?
Alchemist
Magus
Oracle
Ninja
Samurai
Summoner
Witch
Ages are based off race, not class. See page 168 of Core Rulebook.
So the minimum is just the listed "adulthood" age and ignore the +
example:
adulthood Wizard
Human 15 years +2d6
So the minimum age is 15 for a human wizard and not 17?

a character has been introduced to Pathfinder Society play that I have to question about...
My question is that they claim their character a human female AGE 10 is legal with the stats that they put on their character sheet...
Oh, Lord, it's not Shuriken Nekogami, again, is it?

Ages are based off race, not class. See page 168 of Core Rulebook.
Table 7-1 has random starting ages for all the core classes/races. For example, a human sorcerer can be at minimum 16 years old, but a human wizard has to be at minimum 18. [i]But[i], those are just random suggestions. I would lump new classes this way:
Oracle/Ninja/Summoner- 1st column, youngest.
Alchemist/Magus/Witch/Gunslinger/Inquisitor- 2nd column, middle.
Samurai/Cavalier- 3rd column, oldest.

James Jacobs "answer" on this
His answer is, in this specific case, not legal for the purposes of Pathfinder Society. The FAQ has an entry on ages that lays out the guidelines for that.

I thought it was 17 in this case.
since this is would be a good place for this - as an idea of how to create a PFS-LEGAL child character:
I just created a minimum age halfling bard, with the child-like feat, so, due to her height, she passes socially as a human child of about 4 or 5. She is very intelligent and has maxed bluff - basically uses her innocence to put people off guard. She also has a "slave" to pass as a "governess," so she's not unaccompanied. She'll pick up a porter when she gets enough PA.
Her perform oratory? Nursery rhymes. Her perform sing? lullabies. Her spell chord of shards? Screaming.
