Of course I technically can but not with a clear conscience.

I can't bring myself to adopt anyone but Sofie and Lucia because they will either end up as beggars or dead (Sofie sleeps on unsheltered, ice cold stone) if you don't take them in.


With Grelod gone, the orphanage kids have a good chance at getting adopted.

As for Blaise and Alesan, they lead tough lives but ultimately will prosper and become responsible people.
