Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.71.6.2300
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of the expansion packs
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure but players May find when they click on friendly then it comes up differently the pie menu not like tbe old one. It's changed but there isn't any option of adopting only says adopt as care dependent which isn't what I want I want the option to adopt and then get a birth certificate. I moved Alex Moyer in not a relative and she clicked on the toddler there's no option to adopt Misty who is the toddler. Only adopt as care dependent but on the Internet it shows you can adopt then get a birth certificate I can't seem to find it any one else have the same problem
What happens when the bug occurs? Doesn't show the adopt Misty so I can't get a birth certificate. I played as a non relative to the family Alex Moyer but even she couldn't adopt. Just as a care dependent but I want to actually adopt her Misty that's is why isn't it letting me. I even asked a another non family member to move in before Alex Moyer and it still wouldn't let me
What do you expect to see? The optionlike it shows on the Internet where you can get a birth certificate after
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
Please help with this bug because I think it is. Came across a few website links which state that Growing Together does have a lot of bugs. Including the items removed bug which I think is a bug I hope that Sims 4 can have another update in a few months to see if these bugs have disappeared. We have adopt Channing which is the Internet picture which is correct and then the second picture is mine which doesn't have the option also I tried to find the interaction with a non relative when asked to move in Alex Moyer but still didn't work and still doesn't work now. I tried with one other random sim when they moved in but still doesn't work. Please fix this issue.
Adoption is only possible if the child sim has less than two parents.
Does the child in your test already have two parents?
I am having the same issue, I am trying to adopt my sims stepchild (who is a teen now). I even killed off her biological father to see if the option would show up.
But it doesn't, not even after the unfortunate death of her biological father. I removed all mods before doing this, but still no option to adopt under friendly.
What do you mean less than 2 parents I don't understand what you mean what does that mean

Testing this further, killing a parent does not allow another non-family member to adopt a child if there were previously 2 parents in the family, as this would mess up the family tree.
This means adoption works if there is only one parent in the household- as in only a mother, or only a father. If the child already has two parents, the adoption option will not be available.
- @EA_Solaire I already tried this. I moved a sim in who was a non member and tried to adopt wouldn't let me
