Can adults adopt teens in their house when they're "roommates" ??

So, if you have heard of The Fosters show on Freeform, I made a family on the Sims 4 just like them. All the kids in the family have Stef and Lena as their mother, except 2 of them, Jude and Callie (because in the show, they get adopted in a later season) so on CAS mode, I have Jude and Callie (which are both teenagers) as "roommates" to everyone in the family but as "brother" and "sister" to each other. I want the 2 moms to adopt them later on in life in the game, while Jude and Callie are still teens, but I don't know how to do that. Can adults adopt younger "roommates" in their house if they have a strong relationship?

    To get to the full edit mode in CAS with an existing sim (the adopted teen in this case)

    Press CTRL+SHIFT+C all at the same time while in live mode.

    Type TESTINGCHEATS ON

    Press ENTER

    Type CAS.FULLEDITMODE

    Press ENTER

    SHIFT+CLICK on the sim

    Choose EDIT IN CAS

    Make your desired changes to the sim then, click the check mark to exit CAS and return to the game.

    Press CTRL+SHIFT+C again if the cheat console is not still open.

    Type TESTINGCHEATS OFF

    Press ENTER

    Press ESC to close the cheat console.

  • No, you can only adopt NPCs from a pool given by the game.

    You are able to adopt teens but you'll need to rename them, maybe alter them in CAS afterwards with the edit in cas cheat so they can look like you wanted them to but you can't adopt existing Sims you made.

    Actually, I think I'm wrong. You can only adopt children and babies.

    I need to doublecheck.

    You can adopt a child though and then immediately age-up with the birthday cake, then take to CAS with the cheat.
