Have you killed Grelod? If not, you can't adopt children yet.

I think you gotta get a letter from the orphanage before you can adopt...Not sure though.

Well, I may as well join in.

Last time I played, Boris left Riften for Windhelm; my first journey without the HUD. First he defeated a Necromancer and a bunch of Cave Bears. He then proceeded to clear about three caves on the way, most of which I had never even seen before. I found a cool bow in one cave, and just outside was a terrific view of Windhelm and Eastmarch. I then journeyed through the rocky crags to Windhelm, and sold a bunch of loot. I also did a quest for the Dunmer merchant in the grey quarter. I then began to make my way to my destination of Dimhollow Crypt.

I had to end his journey here as my game always freezes without fail in that part of Skyrim. :cry:

You have to get the letter from the orphanage before you can adopt from there. But the orphaned kids that roam the city streets can be adopted anytime.

Wait what? So I cannot adopt a child without murdering an old bitter woman? Not even the little homeless ones roaming around?


Edit: NVM. Good to know.

You can adopt the homeless kids, but not the ones at the orphanage.

Although I don't see why anyone would hesitate to kill that old hag.

Agreed. She didn't deserve to live... Those poor children would have had no lives. Worse than killing them honestly.

Have you listened to the little speech she gives to the children when you first enter the orphanage? "You can forget about being adopted" or something, and it's not because there are no childless couples in Skyrim.

Yeah she's terrible to those little kiddies... But. I just don't see a good character offing an old lady just cause she's a terrible person. I wish there were another way. Maybe have her fired or something. But then it would ruin the DB... And yeah.
I have yet to kill Grelod on any character. Then again I am still trying to "finish" my mostly good character before I roll another with more questionable morals.

Because she's a nice lady hagrid....Okay I'm jk lmao. if I remember right, there was this member on here a long time ago who said the old hag was an angle and that killing her was wrong.

Huh...Could be a bug then...Did you try an adopt one of the homeless kids?

It takes one special piece of [censored] to hurt a child or an animal. A child or animal didn't ask to be born into cruel conditions, and anyone who harms a child should be dealt with appropriately. She only has 1 HP, just run into that orphanage with your bare hands and perform a WWE finisher on her. :rock:

OP: Do you have a child's chest and a child's bed? I've seen this bug before, perhaps a trip to UESP is in order? Also.. have you killed Grelod? And have you received the letter from the orphanage?

Sorry if this is stating the obvious but do you have *two* chests and beds (and possibly the dresser, too)? I know I spent ages wondering why it wouldn't let me adopt one kid when I had both beds, turned out I had to have both chests as well. What exactly happens when you speak to Constance at the Orphanage? Does she have any option to discuss adoption?

Is it not giving you the dialogue option? Otherwise make sure that their room is set up correctly. Otherwise as a test against a bug if you have breeze home upgrade to the child's room and try adopting for that home.

Did you do the appropriate responses during dialog with Constance Michel? It looks like some make her uneasy about letting you adopt.

Maybe load a save from before the first time you asked her and see if it works.

How about trying to adopt one of the homeless kids to see if the adoption is bugged. That way, If the option to adopt is there for the homeless kids, then you know the orphanage is bugged or whatnot.

I usually adopt homeless kids anyway, can't bear to see little Sofie out on the streets of Windhelm in the snow :( My assassin characters would usually like to adopt Aventus, but I don't think he's an option (probably for the best, I doubt we'd lead him down a less-alarming path...)

"I'm so cold. I don't know what to do."(or something to that effect) I adopted her as well.

I also took in Lucia after I saw her sleeping behind the inn while it was raining. The kids in the orphanage at least have a place to stay.
