First off, I apologize if this has been discussed before.

I did not include children who could become orphans (parents dieing) through gameplay. Don't want to set off a killing spree to get the "good kids."

I found myself adopting the same two kids (Lucia and Sophie) every time I have gone that route. Lucia gets me because she is the first one I encounter in Whiterun. She sleeps outside of the Bannered Mare. Sophie gets me when I see her sleeping outside of Niranye's house in the blowing snow. Alesan in Dawnstar at least sleeps in the inn. I have yet to go to the Orphanage and talk to or adopt the children there and was curious how others find those children, though I have gone back and talked with Constance.

Sofie and Lucia seem to get along pretty well, as far as I have seen. How do others fare? What has been your experience if you have gone the family route?

I only adopt Lucia and Sofie.
I don't have favourites.

I knew that would be a tricky one, like asking a parent who their favorite child is

Don't go off-topic please. Posts went away.

I adopted two, sorry can't remember their names as I stuck them in my house with Mjoll and haven't been back there since. Not the best of parents am I?

Mjoll the Lioness?!

Well, at least they will be ready for severe combat by the time you head back.

I've adopted most of them at some point or another. I like Samuel the best probably. One thing that I seem to always do is get one girl and one boy.

None. Haven't gotten "married" either.

Iv'e never really gotten around to the marriage side of things much, to a serious extent. Only briefly wedding in one of my fist playthrough's when the game came out, and it was one of those testing the water plays only.

I have a home in Riften with my current character, and i plan to marry him off, but not until i have some friends & followers that will attend the wedding. I don't want the Church to be empty

Only ever adopted one. I adopted Lucia a few days ago. That's all I want, though. One girl. I also got married for the first time around the same time I adopted. Ysolda was the unlucky woman.
