"hier handelt es sich [sich]
aber vorläufig nach um nicht
allgemein anerkannte [Waise?],
so daß ich darauf verzichte, sie
als Beziehungsgrundlage zu wählen."

my attempt to translate, not verbatim:

in this case it's about a preliminarily not officially acknowledged [orphan?] so that I refrain from choosing her as reference.

hier handelt es sich sich aber vorläufig noch um nicht allgemein anerkannte Dinge, so daß ich darauf verzichte, sie als Beziehungsgrundlage zu wählen

[B]ut for the time being these things are not generally recognized, so I won't use them as a reference basis.
