Do the kids available for adoption randomize?

I could be wrong, but I believe they just randomize. The sims on the adoption list don't exist in the game so I don't know how they'd age up.

I think they're random. Like what we see are just images and then that whole period of "getting" the adopted child is the game generating the child and their traits

I just pretend the kids we see get "adopted" by generated townies (because I'm seeing some diverse families) or get culled

I think that the moment you open the adoption menu, the game generates random babies, toddlers and kids. I think they do eventually get "adopted" since I saw these same kids in townie families. This may have changed since I did this forever ago. Not too sure on all this though.

OK well I had both my adults pull up the adoption list twice and it's all the same kids. I didn't really like any I saw, I was just wondering if new ones would generate at any point or if I'm stuck with these.

Pretty sure it changes per day?

When you open the adoption panel the adoptable baby/toddler/child sims are generated immediately and placed "Not in world." Obviously they can't live alone, so single "parent/guardian" sims are generated in the same households to be their carers.

Take a screenshot of the kids in the adoption panel and compare them to single adult + single offspring families in the "Not in world" list. You can find the adoptable kids, then delete them/age them up to teen. This will then spawn new kids next time you open the panel.

If you have aging on for townies, the kids will eventually age out of adoptable age and younger ones will spawn to fill the panel when it's opened.

This process also means you can open the panel at any time when a child is born/ages up, to spawn more similarly aged townies.
