If I remember correctly, when a child was taken away by the social worker in TS3 if immediately afterwards you'd adopt a child, you'd be able to adopt the same one that had been previously taken away.

I didn’t know this! It would be a cool feature to add in. It would make sense for the child not to appear for the family that it was taken away from though. I wonder how it would affect relationships and family trees if that was the case.
As far as I remember, if you adopted a child, that child would start with the new family as a blank slate. Even if the child you adopted was technically your own child that had been just taken away by the social worker, it wouldn't keep any of the previously family connections, it kept the name and physical appearance of when it was your biological child, yes, but otherwise it was like a complete stranger being adopted into a new family.
