Ok. Time to explain.
Young adult, adult and elder sims can adopt toddler/child/teen in the same household as care dependent and kids can make adults in the same household as their caregiver. Caregivers act like parents, but there is some additional information that you need to know.
Adopting a toddler as care dependent doesn't require any game packs and can be done by teens. While all sims can fulfill toddler's needs, parents and caregivers will make sure toddler stays happy. If Parenthood is installed, caregivers can also do Parenting actions to them.
Adopting a child or teen as care dependent will require Parenthood game pack and cannot be done by teens. Caregivers gain access to Parenting interactions, meaning only parents and caregivers can punish and encourage them, help with needs, influence/force them to do something ect.
Note. Teens cannot gain Parenting skill.
Another note. Sims outside of kid's household cannot adopt them as care dependent and vice versa.
Yet another note. If you have sim be a child's caregiver and then move them out, they'll eventually come back and stay at the house the child is living in. If you don't want this bug happen to you, remove them as care dependent/caregiver before moving them out.
