Before i ask my question i just have to say that this may be a spoiler for a small aspect of Dragonborn.

In dragonborn you can get as followers, however they count as a pet.I was just wondering if it was possible to get my children to adopt one of them since they are considered a pet. also exactly do you get your kids to adopt something. Thanks in advanced.

I haven't done DB yet but as far as pets they will just appear one day and the kids will ask if they can keep them.
