Adoption System Overhaul Ideas
Hi there! I just thought of some ideas that I had for upgrading the adoption process in-game and I'd like to share them to see if anyone agrees with me or has any other ideas they'd like to bring up. ...

Once a child's adoption is final, they are part of their adoptive family. No social workers visit. Children can only be removed for the same reasons a birth child can be removed. Birth and adoption are different ways to start a family, but the families are the same.
But other than that, I like your ideas.
Thanks for the information. To be completely honest, I don't know too much about real world adoptions, I just thought that the feature I described would be interesting in the Sims for certain storyline purposes. Thanks again, and have an amazing day!
You're welcome! A lot of people confuse foster children with adopted children. Especially since some foster parents eventually adopt.
Foster children are temporarily placed in families when their parents cannot provide for them, but parental rights have not been entirely removed. Some will return to their biological families, some will be released for adoption, and sadly some will remain in the system and never find a forever home. Fostering works a lot like you described.
Adoption is a permanent way of adding a child to your family and makes that child legally yours. It's easy to confuse them. Both my sister and one of my daughters was adopted. I have friends who have done fostering, and they are extra special people!
Hope your day is awesome also!
