Shortly after my sim, Braylon, married his wife, Kiana, I noticed that she had a toddler brother, Loren, and that her dad had died, which meant her mom would soon be passing too. I felt bad for Loren being all alone, so I transferred him into my current sims' household, and figured I'd move him out when he was a teenager.

He was devastated; I figure because he'd already lost two parents. He's also a kleptomaniac, which makes things even more interesting. He also fits in great with the other kids. Here's a photo of him and his foster brother (also his step-nephew), Christopher, playing basketball.

@CheesySimsLover , I too think it would be neat for their to be a better Child Care type of system!
Especially for the Child Services in situations like when a toddler keeps glitching or simply won't do what they need to boost their needs and not get taken away by TS4 Child Services! I remember one time when I got particularly frustrated because in one of my households a toddler really needed help with several needs at a time and her dad tried to help, but things just kept colliding and I didn't want to use cheats. Unfortunately, the toddler was eventually taken by Child Services away from her father and twin brother, despite me trying so hard to help her. Now, although she does still appear on her father and brother's Simology, they cannot visit or even see her because she is not in the game anymore. ?
I really wish there was someway parents or siblings could still visit kids even if they've been taken by TS4 Child Services. It would even be good if the kids who were taken would become adoptable so another family could raise them. Then, at least, they would still be in the game and playable.
Does anybody else think that the Child Services in The Sims 4 could do with some improvement?
