Ok so I built a bedroom with two childrens beds but I still cant adopt can anyone help

They have to have storage chests and stuff in their rooms as well

ok thanks

i had a similar problem, i had storage, beds, dressers, all kinds of stuff but i still coulndn't, do you have to be married to adopt?

Apparently you do not need to be married, have not tried it yet though, my first character was married already. Are the children available for adoption?

Married

You should get a note, or just be able to adopt


Non-Married

You should be able to Adopt.

You do not have to be married to adopt. I adopted the little girl in Whiterun and all I needed to do was to build her a dresser and bed in my house (though, admittedly, it didn't take the first time I did this. Once I reloaded, it worked fine.).

When the children say "chest", they really mean "dresser".

This is a known bug, this happens when you try to adopt a child before having room to adopt one apparantly...

I just purchased Breezehome and I had the option to buy children room for [..] gold. It was in fact 250 gold. But the laboratory was still there so I cannot adopt a child since the conversation ends in "do you have a house for me? no" . I heard Hearthfire fixes the alchemy lab bug but it didn't in my case, even after I disabled the unofficial dawnguard patch that claims to fix it too. So I had to use console commands to have the laboratory then change it to the children room. Buing first the children room didn't work either. So is there a console id for the children room as well? I don't want to focus on that child adoption but it presented itself and I want to continue play a bug free game.

Is the Alchemy lab room empty? or furnished? If it is empty try to disable dawnguard first to make the purchase. (I didn't install the unoffical patch, I simply disable dawnguard first to purchase the alchemy lab than enable dawnguard again.)

I have the alchemy lab but no way to transform to a child's room or even buy a child's room in the first place. In wiki it says child's room costs 500 gold. I have to pay only 250 to change but in fact it doesn't do anything. I had the conversation with the child before bying the house so it may be a problem. I became Thane and bought the house, decorated it with lab and changed to child's room but still the conversation with the child is the same as if I didn't have a house and in fact I don't have the chidl's room even if i paid for transforming the alchemy lab. I unistalled the unofficial patch but same problem. I should have waited to buy this dlc that the many bugs mentioned in the wiki were fixed .

How can you adopt children from other areas besides Riften? Riften is the only option I seem to have and I noticed there are a lot more kids running around the other holds.

i had that same prob

Talk to them. You should get the option if they’re adoptable.

I disabled the few mods I had ( UFO, unofficial patches for skyrim and dawnguard) and it works now. So one of these mods is causing the problems. Since I disabled previously the dawnguard unofficial patch and it didn't work, I guess it's maybe UFO which changes something in Breezehome (command field book) . I don't know maybe it's another thing, For now I'll continue without mods...

Two ways to get furniture: buy for a vanilla house, make for a Hearthfire one.
8 adoptable kids. 4 at Honorhall, but you are forced to do the DB questline to adopt them. The other 4, you're not.
Other 4 are -
Lucia - streets of Whiterun.
Sofie - Gray Qtr, Windhelm.
Blaise - Katla's Farm, Solitude
One other boy - Dawnstar.

Oh poor little mite, even his name is forgotten in the mists of time.
I am adopting him for sure! Someone will know and remember his name.

thanks for the list. Got the girl from Riften's Honorhall adopted. Looking to adopt one more girl.

Alesan. He's great at tag.

For some bizarre reason I now have a mental image of loads of hardcoe gamers in front of their multi-monitor displays, water-cooled gaming rig with eye-watering spec, wearing Dovahkiin Viking-style helmets on their heads, sitting weighing the pros and cons of adopting the girl from Whiterun vs. the boy from Dawnstar, and should they give their new child a green tunic/dress or a yellow one? And which plants to put in the garden? And this is why I love gaming

What a great idea! I need to do just that!

(Yes, Oddish IS wearing a Viking helmet as he types this post)

You're on the list of bad parents.

No, I'm on the list of NON-parents, at least until those booger-brai... I mean Bethesda programmers get the PS3 version out.

Far as the kids go, I think Lucia's story is saddest. She has evil relatives.

Yes, I'm STILL wearing the helmet. Even got the horns pointing down.

That is strange because I can convert the alchemy lab into child room.

I guess the difference is that you purchased the lab with unoffical patch, while I made purchase by disable dawnguard at first place.

I do find new bug my skyrim ctd after title if I have dawnguard disabled while hearthfire is active.
