How do I adopt children when I'm using the hearthfire DLC?
I haven't been able to adopt. I have a home in whiterun, solitude, and now falkraith. I went to try to adopt Sofie from windhelm and it won't give me the option to adopt. I do have two other children but they are at different houses. How to I do this?
Best Answer
You may only adopt up to two children in an un-modded Skyrim game. You say you have already adopted two children, so you won't be able to adopt any more even if the ones you have are living at different properties as you're at the adoption cap.
There is a Multiple Adoptions mod available that raises the limit to 6, but it recommends starting a whole new game due to the way already-running scripts are written into the save data.
