Another approach I would try in with task like yours is to artificially generate the ID field for the parent table. The idea here is knowing the ID ahead so you can assign the foreign key values.

Then instead of using multicast, load the data sequentially: parent, and then child. For the parent table, tick the Keep Identity property (OLEDB Destination).
