How many children can I adopt?
I am wondering how many children in total I can adopt at any given time. If the number is dependent on where our home is, then which home allows me the most?

By default, Hearthfire will only allow you to adopt up to two children. If you are playing on PC there are mods to allow for more. However, in order to adopt you must have a house (either a homestead or one of the houses obtained by being thane of a given city), and the house must have a bed and a chest for each child. This means either buying the Children's bedroom package for a house, or building child's beds and chests in either the main hall or the optional bedroom wing (The dresser between the two beds counts as the chest for both children in the main hall).
There are four children available for adoption by default:
- Alesan - In Dawnstar
- Blaise - In Solitude
- Lucia - In Whiterun
- Sofie - In Windhelm
As well as an additional four* from the orphanage in Riften once Grelod the Kind takes a permanent vacation:
- Runa Fair-Shield
- Hroar
- Samuel
- Francois Beaufort
- *other children can be sent to the orphanage if their parent(s) should happen to die.
